THE DOMAIN
a family of WINEMAKERS in MORGON FOR NEARLY 500 YEARS
Dominique Piron, 14th generation of winegrowers since Étienne Bailly (born 1590), continues the family history of Morgon. A specialist in the Morgon appellation, he devotes his time to the Domaine du Vieux Bourg in Corcelles, in the heart of the Beaujolais crus, with 30 hectares of family vines. With his team, Dominique produces Gamay red wines (Morgon, Chénas, Régnié) and Chardonnay for Beaujolais Blanc.
I’ve decided to devote myself to this beautiful profession, in this beautiful vineyard, in search of the “best” rather than the “most”.
BEAUJOLAIS HERITAGE…
Between Lyon and Burgundy, the Domaine du Vieux Bourg, a historic Beaujolais site, extends over 8 hectares of enclosed land. It includes the former Saint-Pierre de Corcelles church and its presbytery. Respecting the architecture of the church, Dominique Piron installed his winery here in 2021, combining modernity and old stones, infusing this site with the soul of Beaujolais…
We’re bringing this heritage back to life, making it a remarkable place in Beaujolais.
