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.

Expert opinion
Guide Hachette des vins
Domaine noté (guide 2019) Awarded wines (Wines from this producer are regularly awarded by the guide)
About the domain :
Son and grandson of winegrowers, Franck Chavy set up in 1991 with a few hectares of Morgon. Through buyouts and sharecropping, he has expanded his estate to 9.5 ha, while at the same time making his mark in the Guide, where he is a sure bet. This success is undoubtedly due to his high vine density (10,000 vines/ha) and long maceration periods.
