Chiroubles, Domaine Dominique Piron 2023
From high-altitude vines on pure granite soils and with north exposure comes this remarkably appealing Chiroubles. The 2023 is extremely fresh and mineral in style, with masses of crunchy cherry and raspberry fruit and a mesh of very fine tannin. This definitely lends itself to being served up slightly chilled alongside some charcuterie, seared tuna or salmon.

Dominique Piron
Bright and affable Dominique Piron can trace his roots in the Beaujolais cru of Morgon right back to an ancestor living there in 1590, and he is the latest of fourteen generations to make wine locally. His domaine comprises just over 50 hectares of vines, specialising in Morgon but with extensive Beaujolais-Villages vineyards as well as Chiroubles (3.5 hectares), Chénas, Régnié and a small holding (1.5 hectares) in Fleurie. He also makes a quite delicious Chénas Quartz cuvée on behalf of the Lamelloise family, famous restaurateurs in Chagny, south of Beaune. He farms sustainably, following the principles of lutte raisonée (meaning ‘reasoned struggle’), respecting the soils and the gamay grape that he loves in his eagerness to make wines that are proper reflections of the vineyards from whence they come. In the cellars, which are pristine and superbly organised, winemaking is classic in style. This is a grower and winemaker well worth following for his elegant but concentrated, not to mention ageworthy, wines.
