Bettane & Desseauve
Wine rated (2018 guide) 15/20 (Very good wine)
Rated estate (2024 guide) 3 stars (High-quality production, serving as a benchmark in its sector)
About wine:
Fruity nose. Precise, delicious palate with notes of strawberry. Remains fresh and pleasant.
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.

Rated estate (2024 guide) Award-winning wines (This producer's wines are regularly awarded by the guide)
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 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.

Review and opinion by Mr. JEAN CLAUDE M. Published on 12/31/2018
Excellent, structured, and colorful; very typical of Beaujolais; Lantignié deserves to become the 11th cru.
