Régnié
The Régnié appellation d'origine contrôlée is a communal appellation recognized since 1988, and the latest addition to the Beaujolais crus. Its vineyards cover some 400 hectares in the communes of Régnié and Durette.

Made from Gamay noir grapes with white juice, as in all Beaujolais vineyards, Régnié is an exclusively red wine. The vines thrive on the pink granite-arena soils, rich in potassium feldspar. The rock, sometimes polphyroid, contains a wide variety of mineral elements. Sand is very present. Régnié is vinified in whole bunches, which is specific to Beaujolais. After a vatting period of 8 to 10 days, depending on the vintage and the winemaker, and an initial alcoholic fermentation, the grapes are pressed. Taffy juice and press juice are then blended, followed by a 2nd malolactic fermentation to soften Régnié wines by removing acidity.

The red color of Régnié wines oscillates between cherry and ruby. A subtle balance of red fruits, fresh and structured by fine tannins, Régnié comes from southeast-facing vines. It can be enjoyed early, for up to 5 years. Régnié from Maison Coquard, Domaine Dominique Piron and Château de Pizay are particularly enjoyable.

"A success!

Produced from the oldest plots and aged in oak, this cuvée offers great aromatic complexity, supported by a firm yet silky structure. The palate is full-bodied, long and fresh. This is a great Régnié that can be enjoyed immediately. It's fruity, but will reveal many other facets over the course of its twenty years or so of cellaring. A great success!

"Equilibre gourmand (Hachette)

"Jean-Marc Laforest farms 7 ha in the Régnié appellation. These forty-year-old vines, planted on a sandy-granite terroir, have produced a beautifully fresh, well-balanced wine. On the nose, notes of black fruit rub shoulders with mineral nuances. The palate reveals a velvety texture, supported by a good tannic structure on the finish. A spontaneously pleasant Regnié that will also age well". (Guide Hachette 2025)

"A must-see!"

A "Haute Couture" wine, with no added sulfite; this cuvée stands out for its freshness, its volume in the mouth and its fruitiness, with an aromatic palette that evolves as the wine opens up to oxygen. It's on the palate that the sulfite-free experience becomes "extra "ordinary, with the raw wine and grape juice aromas returning. This Régnié seduces with its incredible harmony of tannins, roundness and sweetness.

This Régnié is already starting to pinot! On a fresh, fine nose, full of flint, smoky notes and morello cherries, it adds little spices, violets, menthol and chocolate on the palate, before evolving into grenadine. Round and fresh, it's a marvel! For an original pairing, match it with foie gras.

While retaining the characteristics of traditional Beaujolais carbonic maceration combined with a proportion of de-stemmed grapes, this fruity Régnié leaves a lasting impression on the palate with its silky tannins and impressive volume on the palate. A pleasurable, gourmet wine to savor... quite simply.

Son of Jean-Paul Thévenet, Charly became an outstanding winemaker when he set up his own estate in Régnié in 2007. Following in his family's footsteps, he creates exemplary cuvées for our enjoyment, offering here a satiny Régnié with an elegant, fine profile. His work in biodynamic viticulture, respectful of the terroir, takes on its full meaning in this Régnié roi, which touches us with its intense, pure fruitiness. A choice cuvée, far from the usual, to surprise and delight at the table.

2*Coup de Coeur Hachette

"Already present in the 2018 edition, with a very fine star, Olivier Depardon returns with a Régnié full of charm and harmony. To achieve this, he de-stemmed his grapes, followed by a short ageing period in vats. The aromatic expression develops intense notes of ripe red and black fruit, with a hint of spice to boot. The palate, equally rich in fruit, is full-bodied, round and long, underpinned by silky, fine tannins". (Le Guide Hachette des Vins 2019) Gourmet pleasure!

"The Régnié Domaine de la Croix Penet 2011 is pure, on well-concentrated blackberry and cherry notes with very flattering toasty nuances, juicy and persistent on the palate with stony, alkaline aromas. A delicious wine that will be at its best at the end of 2014." (Wine Advocate - Robert Parker)
