Domaine Piron Lameloise Morgon Côte du Py 2017
The great joy of wines that are unknown to you, is that you can judge them without knowing the price or opinions from other people on platforms like Vivino. And that’s why I’m a lucky guy with a neighbour that is also a wine-lover, he often shows up with wines that I have to taste or that we drink together. This time he showed up with this Red Wine from the Morgon region in France.
The winemaker Dominique Piron has got more than 40 years of experience in winemaking and it’s not always easy, because his vineyard lies on a difficult terrain with steep slopes of 30%. Dominique Piron’s goal is to create terroir wines with character that remain fruity, subtle and elegant.
The Domaine Piron Lameloise Morgon Côte du Py is a wine that is 100% of Gamay grapes. The Gamay grapes are a cross between Pinot Noir and Gouais Blanc and the Gamay grapes are the heart of the Beaujolais. Originally the Huns imported this grape from Croatia in the 4th century. They say about the Gamay grape it’s either excellent or nothing at all. Let’s see what this one is.

My Notes:
A beautiful wine from the Beaujolais with a nice pale purple color in the glass. In the nose quite intense and obviously red fruits, some earthy notes and flowers. The wine is exploding from red fruits, like cherry and raspberry. Further notes of blackberry, plum and a mineral touch. Smooth and nice balanced in the mouth with a spicy note and a good length on the finish.
