"The Régnié Domaine de la Croix Penet 2011 is pure, on well-concentrated blackberry and cherry notes with very flattering toasty nuances, juicy and persistent on the palate with stony, alkaline aromas. A delicious wine that will be at its best at the end of 2014." (Wine Advocate - Robert Parker)

Food and wine pairing
Ce vin à la fois classique et éclectique se marie aussi bien avec la cuisine traditionnelle (épaule d’agneau aux herbes, daubes et marinades) qu’avec des plats plus inventifs (canard aux figues, boudin antillais purée de patates douces, lotte au safran), voire de la cuisine indienne ou de multiples saveurs asiatiques.<br/>

Expert opinion
Bettane & Desseauve
Vin noté (guide 2014) 15/20 (Très bon vin)
Noted domain 3*Stars (High-quality production that sets the standard in its sector)
About the wine :
A lovely Regnié, full-bodied and delicious, which is at its best with a hot sausage.
About the domain :
A leading figure in Beaujolais in general and Morgon in particular, Dominique Piron, now joined by his partner Julien Révillon, is developing a solid range of Beaujolais crus. Over 100 hectares, seven crus are represented, with a logical majority of Morgons. With a refined style and expressive nose, while retaining the stylistic signature of their origins, the domaine's wines are all successful.
Guide Hachette des vins
Rated domain (2023 guide) Award-winning wines (Wines from this producer regularly win awards in the guide)
About the domain :
Heir to 14 generations of winegrowers, Dominique Piron handed over the reins of the family estate in 2020 to Julien Revillon, his partner since 2013. The latter is now in charge of some 50 hectares of vines, divided between his own vineyards and grape purchases for the négoce.

RVF - La Revue du Vin de France / Guide des Meilleurs Vins de France
Graded area (2024 guide) 1*Star (Stars in the making or quality winegrowers with a good level of production, you won't be disappointed when you taste the wines from these estates)
About the domain :
Julien Revillon, aided by his talented oenologist Pierre Meunier, continues Dominique Piron's work with consistency and brio. The duo is aided by vineyard manager Thibaud Lemaître, which has become necessary to oversee a 90-hectare estate. Their joint efforts have improved the quality of the grapes, and the parcel-by-parcel selection process is beginning to bear fruit. We've been won over by the consistency of the range and its cornerstones: spontaneity of fruit, delicacy and precise definition of each cru.
