Régnié
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, Domain Dominique Piron and Château de Pizay are particularly enjoyable.

Domaine Les Capréoles - Régnié Diaclase 2023
93/100 James Suckling
-
91/100 RVF
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!
Domaine Laforest - Régnié 2023
2*Étoiles 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)

Domaine Franck Chavy - Régnié Sans sulfite ajouté 2022
4.2/5 (4 reviews)
88/100 Wine Enthusiast
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.
Domaine Christophe Savoye - Cuvée Ma Confidence 2021
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.
Domaine Lagneau - Régnié Vieilles Vignes Gérard 2021

Domaine Lagneau - Régnié Vieilles Vignes Gérard 2020
2*Étoiles Hachette
Régnié will turn your head! Its supple construction comes from old vines and offers intense aromas that mature quietly in the gentle atmosphere of the cellar for an entire year. It draws its seduction from the fine combination of the terroir's minerality and the perfume of very ripe red fruits and sweet spices.
