Produced from the oldest plots and aged in oak barrels, this cuvée offers great aromatic complexity supported by a firm yet very silky structure. The palate is full-bodied and very long with a lovely freshness. This is a great Régnié that can be enjoyed now. Fruity, but it will reveal many other facets during a cellaring period that can be estimated at around twenty years.

Bettane & Desseauve
Wine rated (2026 guide) 90/100
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.

About wine:
Cédric Lecareux confirms vintage after vintage that he is one of the leading figures in Régnié. In 2023, he produced a wine in which woody, peppery, and licorice aromas blend harmoniously with fruity notes and a few floral touches. On the palate, it is rich and persistent.
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 wine:
Diaclase is full-bodied and complete, with subtle oxidative notes.
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.

Rated estate (2023 guide) Recommended
About wine:
It has beautiful depth and ripe, generous aromas of red and blue fruits, spices, dried orange peel, and an earthy note in the background. The palate is full-bodied and structured, with succulent fruit and lively acidity that prolongs the wine's length, bringing freshness and energy. Made from organically grown grapes. Drink now or cellar.
