His biodynamic approach, respectful of the terroir, truly shines in this exceptional Régnié, which captivates us with its intense and pure fruitiness. A wine of distinction, far beyond the ordinary, sure to surprise and delight at the table.

About the estate:

This is the estate of Jean-Paul Thévenet’s son, Charly, who purchased vineyards in Régnié a few years ago and released his first vintage in 2007. Biodynamic farming, late harvests, gentle maceration, and low sulfur dioxide levels during aging in old barrels are the order of the day. The style is elegant and delicate, emphasizing charm and aromatic complexity over raw power, and the wines tend to age gracefully.

Review by Mr. JEAN MICHEL B. Published on March 28, 2022

Well, no—it definitely doesn't work. There's fruit on the first sip right after opening, but then it all disappears, and the more you wait for it to come back, the worse it tastes—unlike other natural or low-sulfite wines. Frankly, I'm not at all happy with the recommendation on the website, with all that praise that has nothing to do with the quality of what I tasted.
