Domaine Les Capréoles
In July 2014, Cédric Lecareux and his wife Catherine created the Domaine Les Capréoles with 3 hectares of vines purchased in Régnié. Today, the entire vineyard extends to 8 hectares in Régnié and Lantignié, a commune in view of future cru recognition. Situated on a south-facing granite slope, the Gamay vines surround the estate buildings.

An agricultural engineer and oenologist by training, Cédric Lecareux chose to convert Domaine Les Capréoles to organic viticulture as soon as he acquired the vineyard. Since 2017, the estate has been certified Organic and under Demeter certification since 2018 for its biodynamic practices, before switching to Byodivin certification in 2023.

The wines of Domaine Les Capréoles have been christened by the children of Catherine and Cédric Lecareux. Four cuvées with original names: Cossinelle, Chamodère, Diaclase and Sous la Croix.

"Remarkable purity

L'Amourgandise lives up to its name: pure, crystalline fruit aromas on the nose, and a fruity, gourmet palate of innocent finesse. A suave, ready-to-eat wine that highlights the terroirs of the village of Lantignié and its terraces.

"Superb confirmation!"

Since its planting in 2017, this parcel of Chardonnay has known only Biodynamic agriculture. It was harvested for the first time in 2019 to produce this cuvée Axiome, "l'évidence". After a long, gentle pressing, the wine was vinified in barrel with indigenous yeasts and aged on lees for 8 months. This Beaujolais Lantignié blanc, 100% Chardonnay, combines concentration, roundness and finesse. A reflection of a great terroir in the making.

"A success!

Produced from the oldest plots and aged in oak barrels, 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!

This parcel is located on the most superficial granites. They give the wine great, noble power. Its potential is revealed by ageing in the best barrels. For lovers of great wines...

long finish

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.

"Another face of Beaujolais

From an old vineyard parcel located on a vein of Lantignié microgranite, this cuvée was harvested for the first time in 2018 after several years ravaged by hail. With its nose of ripe red fruit, cherries in brandy, mentholated and camphorated, Alio Pacto offers a silky, dense wine with lovely juice and a fresh finish. Its tannins are already silky, although it's easy to imagine that a few years will allow it to blossom even further. Discover another face of Beaujolais, a cru cultivated in another way, alio pacto in Latin, for divine pleasure!

"Providential, unexpected and intense..."

The Hydrophobe des Capréoles cuvée was born of the 2017 vintage, following the violent hailstorms that wiped out some of the harvest hopes during the summer. This cuvée symbolizes hope after anguish, rage after despondency, humility after anger. We had to bounce back and find some good grapes. L'Hydrophobe is the cuvée of resilience. "Live for what tomorrow has to offer, not for what yesterday took away" - an impressively dense, greedy and mineral Brouilly.

"Fruity nose. Precise, greedy palate with hints of strawberry. Remains fresh and pleasant." (Le Guide Bettane & Desseauve des Vins 2018) A cuvée with an apt name: pour l'Amour et la Gourmandise du Gamay!
