The 2024 Maison Piron Morgon Côte du Py is a distinguished French red wine from the Morgon appellation in Beaujolais, produced by Maison Piron. Crafted from Gamay grown on the celebrated Côte du Py hillside, known for its volcanic and schist-rich soils, this wine offers impressive depth, structure and mineral complexity. Its anticipated aromas reveal ripe black cherry, raspberry and dark plum, complemented by notes of violet, dried herbs, earthy spice and subtle minerality.
On the palate, it is expected to be medium-bodied with fine, structured tannins and vibrant acidity. Flavours of juicy cherry, blackberry and red plum unfold alongside hints of liquorice, pepper and savoury earthiness. Its concentrated fruit character is balanced by freshness and mineral depth, creating an elegant yet powerful Morgon with a long, persistent finish.
Ben's Recommendation:
At Wine More Cellars, this is an excellent choice for customers who appreciate structured Beaujolais reds with vibrant fruit, savoury complexity and ageing potential. The 2024 Maison Piron Morgon Côte du Py showcases the distinctive character of Gamay from one of Morgon's most celebrated vineyard sites. A suggested drinking window is 2026–2034, with further development possible under suitable cellaring conditions. Serve slightly cool at approximately 14–16°C, allowing the wine time to breathe. Particularly well suited to roast duck, rosemary-roasted lamb, grilled pork, mushroom risotto, beef bourguignon or aged cheeses.
