This Régnié is already starting to show its Pinot character! With a fresh, delicate nose full of flint, smoky notes, and morello cherries, it reveals subtle spices, violet, and hints of mint and chocolate on the palate, before developing notes of pomegranate. It offers roundness and freshness—a true delight! For an original pairing, try it with foie gras.

Rated estate (2022 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 estate:
In the heart of the village of Chiroubles, on the “green balcony” of the Beaujolais region, Christophe—a sixth-generation winemaker—cultivates 16.5 hectares, 14 of which are located within his own cru. Using the (traditional) semi-carbonic maceration method, he destems the grapes in plots where they are not yet fully ripe. He sells all his wine by the bottle at a fair price—the price at which Chiroubles should be sold. We are, however, surprised by the differences in style across the range, noting inconsistencies in the most recent vintages.
