Bettane & Desseauve
Wine rated 91/100 (2020 vintage)
Rated estate (2024 guide) 3 stars (High-quality production, serving as a benchmark in its sector)
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.
Guide Hachette des vins
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.

Wine rating (2023 guide) 90/100 (2020 vintage)
Rated estate (2024 guide) Selected (Please note that this guide is a ranking and, as such, all the estates listed in it, even those without stars, represent, in our opinion, the excellence of French production.)
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.
