“Remarkable purity”
Amourgandise lives up to its name: pure, crystalline fruit aromas on the nose, a fruity and indulgent palate, and an innocent finesse. A smooth wine ready to drink that showcases the terroirs of the village of Lantignié and its terraced vineyards.

Wine rated (2026 guide) 88/100
Rated estate (2024 guide) 3 stars (High-quality production, setting the standard in its sector)
About the estate:
Cédric Lecareux and his wife Catherine founded the Capréoles estate in July 2014 with three hectares of contiguous vineyards, an area expanded by two hectares two years later. From Beaujolais-Villages to Cru Régnié, everything is highly recommended, with, in our opinion, more refined aging profiles. A wonderful place to visit.

About the estate:
Cédric Lecareux—who hails from Languedoc-Roussillon, where he worked at the Gérard Bertrand Group’s estates—and his wife, a native of Beaujolais, purchased this 250-year-old estate in 2014. They cultivate 8 hectares of organic vineyards laid out like a garden around the property, with an exceptional view of the two bell towers of Régnié-Durette.

Rated Estate (2024 Guide) Selected (Please note that this guide is a ranking, and as such, all the estates listed here—even those without a star—represent, in our view, the pinnacle of French winemaking.)
About the wine:
Amourgandise is juicy, appetizing, and bold in 2024: open it today.
About the estate:
Cédric Lecareux is one of those new-generation winemakers shaking up the Beaujolais region. After serving as technical director for a major Languedoc wine merchant for six harvests, he settled in Régnié with his wife Catherine—an agricultural engineer like himself—on a neglected vineyard. Upon their arrival in 2014, they began the process of obtaining organic certification, which was granted in 2017. Adhering to the maxim “The rule is that there are no rules,” they adapt their destemming and aging methods each year.
