2016 Piron Beaujolais-Villages
Maison Piron
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.

This is textbook, crunchy fresh, but amply fruited Beaujolais. Cherry and iron, a little spice, fine grained tannin, juicy cherry/raspberry flavour with a seasoning of dried herb and flowers, and a ferrous finish of satisfying length. Beauty.

Business Insider
This wine is positively thirst quenching with its bright, crunchy red cherry and raspberry fruit flavours racing across the palate, with length and acidity perfectly integrating to extinguish a lusty thirst.
This is yardstick, glugable BV, which ticks all the boxes as a red to drink in copious quantities. A steal at the price. Yes please.
