"Remarkable purity"
Amourgandise lives up to its name: pure, crystalline fruit aromas on the nose, a fruity, indulgent palate with an innocent finesse. A smooth wine ready to drink, showcasing the terroirs of the village of Lantignié and its terraces.

Wine rated (2026 guide) 88/100
Rated estate (2024 guide) 3 stars (High-quality production, serving as a benchmark in its sector)
About the estate:
Cédric Lecareux and his wife Catherine founded the Capréoles estate in July 2014 with three hectares of adjacent vineyards, which were expanded by two hectares two years later. From Beaujolais-Villages to Cru Régnié, everything is highly recommended, with, in our opinion, more refined aging. A wonderful place to visit.

About the estate:
Cédric Lecareux—who arrived from Languedoc-Roussillon, where he worked for the Gérard Bertrand group—and his wife, originally from Beaujolais, bought this 250-year-old estate in 2014. They cultivate 8 hectares of organic vines planted like a garden around the property, with an exceptional view of the two bell towers of Régnié-Durette.

About wine:
Amourgandise will be juicy, appetizing, and straightforward in 2024: open it today.
About the estate:
Cédric Lecareux is one of those new winemakers who are shaking up the Beaujolais region. After six harvests as technical director for a major Languedoc wine merchant, he moved to Régnié with his wife Catherine, an agricultural engineer like himself, to take over an abandoned estate. As soon as they arrived in 2014, they committed to organic certification, which was confirmed in 2017. Believers in the maxim "The rule is that there are no rules," they adapt their destemming and aging techniques each year.
