“The 2011 Régnié Domaine de la Croix Penet is pure, with well-concentrated notes of blackberry and cherry and very appealing toasty undertones; it is juicy and lingering on the palate, with stony and mineral aromas. A delicious wine that will be at its best by late 2014.” (Wine Advocate - Robert Parker)

Food and wine pairings
Ce vin à la fois classique et éclectique se marie aussi bien avec la cuisine traditionnelle (épaule d’agneau aux herbes, daubes et marinades) qu’avec des plats plus inventifs (canard aux figues, boudin antillais purée de patates douces, lotte au safran), voire de la cuisine indienne ou de multiples saveurs asiatiques.<br/>
Bettane & Desseauve
Wine rated (2014 guide) 15/20 (Very good wine)
Rated 3 stars (A high-quality product that serves as a benchmark in its sector)
About the wine:
A lovely Régnié, full-bodied and rich, that really comes into its own when paired with a warm sausage.
About the estate:
A leading figure in the Beaujolais region in general and in Morgon in particular, Dominique Piron—joined by his partner Julien Révillon—has developed a solid range of Beaujolais wines. Across more than 100 hectares, seven appellations are represented, with Morgon naturally making up the majority. With a refined style and expressive aromas, while retaining the distinctive character of their terroir, the estate’s wines are all outstanding.

About the estate:
As the heir to 14 generations of winemakers, Dominique Piron handed over the reins of the family estate in 2020 to Julien Revillon, his business partner since 2013. Revillon now oversees some 50 hectares, comprising both the estate’s own vineyards and grapes purchased for the merchant division.

About the wine:
The 2011 Régnié Domaine de la Croix Penet is pure, with well-concentrated notes of blackberry and cherry and very appealing toasty undertones; it is juicy and long on the palate, with mineral and earthy aromas. A delicious wine that will be at its best by late 2014.
RVF - La Revue du Vin de France / Guide des Meilleurs Vins de France
Rated estate (2024 guide) 1*Star (Up-and-coming stars or quality winemakers producing wines of a high standard—you won’t be disappointed when tasting the wines from these estates)
About the estate:
Julien Revillon, assisted by his talented winemaker Pierre Meunier, continues Dominique Piron’s legacy with consistency and flair. The duo is supported by vineyard manager Thibaud Lemaître, whose assistance has become essential for overseeing an estate spanning 90 hectares. Their joint efforts have improved the quality of the grapes, and the plot-by-plot selection process they’ve undertaken is beginning to bear fruit. We’re impressed by the consistency of the lineup and its cornerstones: the fruit’s natural spontaneity, its sweetness, and the precise character of each cru.
