2024 Guy Breton Régnié, Beaujolais, France

$40.00

This is a pre-order item expected to arrive early November 2025.

• First produced in 2008, sourced from the hills between the Côte de Brouilly and the Côte du Py of Morgon, around the village of Régnié-Durette.

• Guy’s grandfather handed down the two parcels that go into this wine: one with 100-year-old and the other with 35-year-old vines. The shallow soil of sand and decomposing stones gives the vines easy access to the bedrock, creating firm wines with more grip and acidity than in Morgon.

• Only indigenous yeasts are used

• Grapes are cooled to 5-6° C after harvest to begin fermentation at low temperature

• 100% whole-cluster fermentation

• Short macerations in tank; length of maceration is determined by tasting

• Grapes are pressed and racked to barrel before the end of fermentation

• Tiny doses of sulfur added during élevage and at bottling

• Bottled unfined and unfiltered
