ABOUT THIS WINE
Fleurie Maison Piron 2022 is a still red wine from the AOC Fleurie appellation in Beaujolais, France, made from the Gamay grape by producer Maison Piron.

Maison Piron, a family estate with a 14-generation history, focuses on transmitting the specificities of Beaujolais terroirs into their wines. The 2022 vintage is noted for its fresh, aerial nose and juicy palate. The wine's character is significantly shaped by the traditional semi-carbonic maceration technique, which contributes to its vibrant fruit-forward profile and soft tannins.
