Domaine Dominique Piron Cote du Py Gamay 2020

 ''This structured wine from vines planted on the volcanic soil of the Côte de Py slope is young but already impressive.  With dark fruits and dense tannins, it will take a while to mature.''  95 Points, Roger Voss, Wine Enthusiast

"A bold and imposing wine for gamay, this is also brimming with intense black cherry fruit and a slew of spices.  And behind this is a major tannin structure that’s been precisely crafted to hold all this beautiful madness together."  93 Points, James Suckling

"Bruised iris, earthy, woody, violet-flower scented.  This is rather glamorous!  The moment it was in my mouth, the only word I could find was ‘magnificent’.  It tasted, felt, like black-purple silk.  Like midnight.  Like pewter by candlelight.  Smoky yet headily floral – but darkly floral.  Pomegranate molasses and souk spice.  Black cherries and kohl pencil.  A Beaujolais channelling the soul of Marrakech.  It would be fascinating to taste this with Moroccan food."  17/20, Tamlyn Currin, jancisrobinson.com
