Located north of Lyon in eastern France, Beaujolais overlaps Burgundy in the north and Rhône in the south. The picturesque Beaujolais vineyards run along the Saône River where the Crus form a meandering path on the granite terrain. From south to north, Brouilly is followed by Côte de Brouilly, Régnié, Morgon, Chiroubles, Fleurie, Moulin-à-Vent, Chénas, Juliénas and Saint-Amour.
Régnié - only one square mile in size - is situated at the bottom of the Brouilly hill, known for its pink granite soil with high mineral content. From old 40-year-old vines that grow on gravely granite with some clay on slopes facing East. Hand-harvested, grapes undergo primary and malolactic fermentation in stainless steel and cement vats.
This wine is perfumed and has notes of raspberries, currants, blackberries, and cassis with a dash of spice and a mineral core. This is a delicious wine with a long finish. Régnié features raspberry, red currant, sloe and blackberry aromas. Its flavor profile of red berries is both fresh and structured, leading to a very aromatic wine with good length and a touch of mineral and spice.
