[SOLD-OUT] Dominique Piron Beaujolais-Villages 2019

CHERRIES, BERRIES AND FLORALS, IS THERE ANY RED WINE MORE REFRESHING THAN A LIGHTLY CHILLED BEAUJOLAIS VILLAGES? THIS PIRON IS A BEAUTY.

"Ripe cherry and raspberry, spice, a sort of pressed rose perfume. Medium-bodied, quite deep in flavour with a pleasing roundness, a bit of grainy tannin, meat and dried herb, and a good finish. It’s just a really good drink, and very accessible." - Wine Front

"The vines for Piron's Beaujolais-Villages surround the crus on the hills of the northern half of Beaujolais. They mostly have an east-facing exposition and have sandy granitic soils comprising small stones that store the sun's heat and then release it gently during the night. This helps conserve the natural freshness of the fruit. These vines at 50 years old on average. 100% Gamay grapes are harvested by hand, selected on a sorting table, and given a very gentle, partial destemming before semi-carbonic fermentation takes place in cement and stainless steel. The fermentation never lasts longer than 8-10 days in order to preserve freshness." - Cellarhand
