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.
