"The 2011 Régnié Domaine de la Croix Penet is pure, with concentrated blackberry and cherry notes and very flattering toasty nuances. It is juicy and persistent on the palate with stony and alkaline aromas. A delicious wine that will be at its best in 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/>

About wine:
A lovely Régnié, full-bodied and delicious, which reveals itself fully when paired with warm sausage.
About the estate:
A leading figure in Beaujolais in general and Morgon in particular, Dominique Piron, now joined by his partner Julien Révillon, has developed a solid range of Beaujolais wines. Seven crus are represented across more than 100 hectares, with a logical majority of Morgons. With a refined style and expressive noses, while retaining the stylistic signature of their origin, the estate's wines are all successful.

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 good-quality wines; you won't be disappointed when tasting the wines from these estates)
About the estate:
Julien Revillon, assisted by his talented oenologist Pierre Meunier, continues Dominique Piron's work with consistency and panache. The duo is assisted by vineyard manager Thibaud Lemaître, who is essential for overseeing an estate covering 90 hectares. Their joint efforts have improved the quality of the grapes, and the selective vineyard management they have implemented is beginning to bear fruit. We are impressed by the consistency of the range and its cornerstones: spontaneous fruit, sweetness, and the precise definition of each vintage.
