Today, winemaker Julien Revillon continues the legacy of Dominique Piron, crafting wines that rival the finest Burgundies in precision and character.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"226\" data-end=\"646\"\u003eThe Côte du Py is the crown jewel of the Morgon appellation, known for its distinctive volcanic and schist soils which lend a mineral backbone and age-worthy structure to the fruit’s natural generosity. This Morgon Côte du Py from Maison Piron is a seductive expression of the cru that captures both the depth and energy of the blue stone terroir.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"226\" data-end=\"646\"\u003eMade from destemmed Gamay grapes grown on the Côte du Py slope, fermentation is long and traditional, with regular punch-downs to extract colour and structure. The result is a wine of impressive concentration and longevity. It opens with aromas of black cherry, violet, and baking spice, leading to a palate that is silky yet structured, with layers of dark fruit, granite minerality, and gentle oak. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"226\" data-end=\"646\"\u003eElegant, expressive, and unmistakably Morgon, this wine is superb with duck, roast pork, or butternut squash risotto. Delicious in its youth for its bright fruit and suppleness, but will age gracefully for at least another 10 years, as the tannins soften and the complexity deepens. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"tastingNotePage__body  content-flow\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e'There is such a marked difference between the 2023s and the 2024s in Beaujolais! Following on from a rather severe Morgon 2024, this 2023 Morgon positively serenades me with fruit and abundance. Fabulous nose (crushed strawberries, fresh loam). Dark mulberries, pomegranate, and a woody-graphite earth-line that takes me back to school days and chewing on the end of a pencil as I puzzled out maths problems. Bold, compact tannins, clove and peppery lift. Lilac flowers on the finish.' \u003cstrong\u003e17pts, JancisRobinson.com \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e(TC).\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"France : Beaujolais","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56625897931126,"sku":"0001-6794","price":29.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0437\/0215\/7464\/products\/MorgonPiron-500x500.png?v=1600077275","url":"https:\/\/www.tauruswines.co.uk\/products\/0001-6794","provider":"Taurus Wines","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
