With know-how, roots and terroirs, Dominique Piron has created a Domain among the leaders of the region.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt Maison Piron, there is no \"recipe\", but a multitude of possibilities and combinations, depending on the knowledge of the terroirs, the appellation, and the purpose. Grapes of quality that are ripe and representative of their soil, a severe sorting if necessary, a partial destemming depending on the maturity of the stalks, some \"pigeages\" and pumping over, lengths of fermentation depending on terroirs, appellations, and vintages. Few technical interventions. The major idea is \"permanent adaptation to the elements\". Piron wines are traditional. They express the soil from which they come from. It is a compromise between the search for the best tannins and the preservation of finesse, elegance and purity. A moderate maturation in barrels brings roundness without being overwhelming.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDate Founded:\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e1590\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOwner:\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003eDominique PIRON - Julien REVILLON\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eStarting with the Romans, wine growing has developed since the 3rd century.

A mineral wine with fine tannins reflecting a perfume of concentrated dark fruits.A small plot of vines of 85 ares acquired by Dominique Piron's grandfather in 1932. Registered on a place called Aux Pierres, it is well named due to its blue stones, very typical of the Cte du Py. Year by year, the quality of the harvest has made it an emblematic plot of Piron's family. Elite of the domain, this special cuvee is produce only in case of exceptional vintage. It's a cuvee that can be kept for more than 10 years. Review: This deep and powerful Morgon is just beginning to give its best. The spicy oak is there, but well integrated with the plum and blackberry fruit. Very good balance on the generous front palate, but at the back the richness makes a bold statement and the tannins just hold it in check. With a shade less ripeness this would be even more impressive. Drink or hold.
