Piron Beaujolais Blanc

Piron Beaujolais Blanc

$31.99

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.

This wine is a beautiful expression of Chardonnay, and is a great little sip to enjoy in the sun! The glass bursts with aromas of white elderberry flowers, pear, apricot, citrus and subtle cardamom. It displays a ripe palate and is well balanced between freshness, fruity, pretty lemony persistence and a mentholated note. Pairs well with salmon terrine, sushi, grilled sole, monkfish with green pepper, blanquette of the sea, lemon chicken, fresh or semi-dry goat cheese or gouda. A KWM Exclusive!

 

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.
