2013 Piron Beaujolais Morgon Côte du Py
Maison Piron
Standing on the top of the blue schist terroir that is Morgon Côte du Py on a wonderfully sunny but utterly freezing morning is something that will live long in the memory. Côte du Py has upwards of 100 growers sharing it, Piron being well placed with 7ha, all planted at 10,000 vines per ha. We previously brought in the utterly compelling 2012 vintage of this wine. Now it’s the turn of the 2013, which is also available in half bottle and magnum. Savoury, earthy, meaty nose that also shows pure cherry, strawberry and the spice again. Really dense and concentrated, more so than the 2012 we shipped earlier, but still with that saline earthiness and finishing long and pure.

Deep ruby. Vibrant, mineral-tinged cherry and floral pastille aromas are complicated by suggestions of licorice, game and peppery spices. Sappy and energetic in style, offering black raspberry and bitter cherry flavors that are given lift and spine by juicy acidity. Finishes with very good intensity and focus, leaving smoky mineral and cherry liqueur notes behind.
