Domaine Dominique Piron
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.
Description
A floral undertone to the boysenberry and raspberry flavors in this fresh, lightly plump red. Herb, pink peppercorn and mineral accents impart complexity through the lightly grippy finish.
Food Pairing
This classic and eclectic wine goes well with traditional cuisine (shoulder of lamb with herbs, stews and marinades), as well with more inventive dishes (duck with figs, black pudding with sweet potato purée, saffron monkfish ), or even Indian or Asian cuisine.
