The highest of the crus of Beaujolais (between 250 and 450 meters above sea level) has the most homogeneous soil of granite which decomposes slowly to form sandy arenas on the surface. Most of the vines are planted on hillsides and require a lot of manual work, it's a bit like the Côte Rôtie du Beaujolais! The mineral strength and the power of the rock gives airy and delicate wines, with intense fruity and endowed with a nice freshness.

Grapes are harvested by hand, sorted over a table and partially destemmed. Fermentation and maceration for 12 to 15 days to structure the wine.

Starting with the Romans wine growing has developed since the 3rd century. Dominique Piron’s oldest known ancestor was born in Morgon in 1590. Since then there have been 14 generations of wine growers in the family. Morgon and Moulin à Vent wines have long been renowned among France’s finest wines. In a vineyard with difficult terrain− 30% steep slopes and a virtual patchwork of parcels Dominique Piron is engaged in sustainable winegrowing. On winegrowing land filled with old broken-down granite and schist the watchwords are natural balance and biodiversity. For vinification our goal is to create terroir wines wines of character that remain fruity subtle and elegant.
