Dominique Piron’s family has been growing grapes here since the 16th century, and Dominique took over the estate in 1971. Piron farms 45 hectares of vineyards scattered among several different crus in Beaujolais, namely Morgon, Chénas, Brouilly, Régnié and Moulin-à-Vent. He owns some parcels, rents others, and also buys 20 hectares worth of carefully selected grapes from their neighbours. Regardless of where the grapes are sourced, Piron is responsible for every aspect of quality control from the vineyard management to the marketing of the finished wine. They take such great care of each of their crus that even the simple Beaujolais and Beaujolais-Villages wines are carefully selected from single-vineyard parcels. Each of their terroirs is unique, yet they are all granite-based soils—the ideal grounding for the Gamay grape. Piron farms sustainably, although he has also been experimenting with organic methods to achieve a rich biodiversity in the vineyards.

Produced from vines in Beaujeu, considered the best village terroir in Beaujolais, this wine shows lots of breed and vigour. Full-bodied, with soft tannins, the wine has a classic cru Beaujolais definition with some earthy notes. The fruit is very juicy without being simple. Great value.
Farmed by the Piron family since the 16th century, Maison Dominique Piron is a Beaujolais icon. Having taken over the family vineyards in 1971, Dominique Piron makes Beaujolais with an eye for tradition and sustainability alike.
At Maison Piron, farming and harvests are carried out sustainably and typically organically, with an emphasis on encouraging biodiversity. Piron's vineyards span across several crus: Morgon, Chenas & Moulin-a-Vent, to name but a few.
Dominique Piron's winemaking style reflects traditional Beaujolais vinification and terroir, employing carbonic, whole-cluster fermentation and aging in neutral oak.
The stunning wines of Dominique Piron are a proud Kensington Wine Market exclusive.

The philosophy of Blue Mountain is to focus on the potential of each variety, continually improving its range across Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, Gamay Noir, and Traditionnelle Methode sparkling wine.
Blue Mountain’s strong focus on viticulture across the site allows for an increased representation of individual terroir when the grapes reach the winery.

A fun, fresh, well-priced red wine made from Gamay grapes by one of the top organic producers in Beaujolais. This pretty red is simple and straightforward and delicious. A wine of thirst par excellence! Marcel Lapierre, who died in 2010, was a major force behind the natural wine movement that has been sweeping the globe. His son and daughter, Mathieu and Camille, now heads up the winery, making fruit-forward wines with minimal intervention.

Noël Bulliat and his son Loïc run this family estate that covers 27 ha in 8 different appelations in the heart of the Beaujolais region. It began in 1978 when Noël bought 4 ha of Beaujolais Villages straight after graduating from viticultural school. The grapes are hand-picked and fermented with the whole clusters intact. They undergo a cold maceration to preserve aromatic profile before being moved to cement tanks for semi-carbonic maceration, lasting 10 to 12 days using indigenous yeasts. They are certified organic and offer bright, expressive notes of red berries, minerality, subtle spice and lively acidity to tie it all together.
