Wines made from Gamay noir grapes of Régnié
Discover the best wines made with Gamay noir as a single variety or as a blend of Régnié.
Light, juicy reds, low in tannins with crunchy freshness, showing aromas of wild strawberry, raspberry, banana (from carbonic maceration) and peony. Easy-drinking style of Beaujolais Nouveau, more structured and mineral on the granites of the ten crus (Morgon, Moulin-à-Vent, Fleurie, Brouilly). Also in Touraine, Auvergne and Swiss Romande. A Burgundian variety, a cross of Pinot Noir × Gouais Blanc.
Youngest of the ten Beaujolais crus (AOC 1988), ~400 ha on the commune of Régnié-Durette, pink granitic sandy-pebbly arenas. Single Gamay vinified by semi-carbonic maceration. Signature fruity, silky reds with notes of redcurrant, raspberry, red cherry, wild strawberry, violet, peony and spice, fine tannins and airy palate — floral finesse, one of the most accessible crus. Drink young and fresh with poultry or charcuterie.
