Régnié Croix Penet 2016
Régnié AOC
Loading...
This juicy, fruit filled 2016 is the true taste of quality Beaujolais Cru. Made from Gamay grapes grown on 60 year old vines on superb pebbly hillsides, this Régnié has lovely depth and intensity. A terrific red from a 14th generation estate.
We're sorry, this wine is sold out.
But don't worry, you'll find plenty more handpicked wines here.
The Story Behind the Bottle
Beaujolais is on the come back thanks to great family domaines like this. Dominique Piron was founded during the reign of Louis XIII and today has 95 hectares of vines throughout Beaujolais's finest villages, a third of them in Morgon. Dominique is the 14th generation and with no family of his own, he joined up with a long standing friend from the appellation, Julian Revillon. Together they have a vision to produce Beaujolais as fine as any Grand Cru Burgundy. They go to great lengths to achieve that, both in the vineyard and the cellar. Taste this silky, ripe Régnié, the region's newest Cru. 2016 was a very good vintage too, with lovely concentration. Delicious on its own, with herby chicken, spanakopita and a whole variety of dishes.
