The Domaine Antoine Sunier is a prestigious vineyard located in the picturesque region of Beaujolais, France. Set in a territory historically renowned for its wine culture, it is perfectly integrated into the diverse and fascinating landscape of French viticulture. The property, managed by Antoine Sunier, is located in the communes of Régnié and Morgon. It is within this natural setting that the vineyard passionately and dedicately produces exceptional wines, whilst deeply respecting the environment. Antoine Sunier is indeed a fervent advocate of biodynamic viticulture, refusing the use of chemical products to best preserve the balance of his vines and the quality of his soils. The estate extends over an area of about 5 hectares, mainly planted with Gamay. The vines, with an average age of 45 years, are cultivated on varied soils, mostly granitic, thus offering complexity and uniqueness to its wines. The work is done manually, with whole harvests, rigorously chosen to produce authentic and honest wines. The cellar, meanwhile, illustrates the philosophy of this estate: elegant and simple, it is a reflection of their commitment and respect given to vine and wine. Fermentations are done naturally, the wine is aged in vats and barrels for several months and unfiltered at bottling. The Domaine Antoine Sunier produces two main Beaujolais wines: the Régnié, fresh and fruity, which translates the pure expression of Gamay, and the Morgon, more structured and deep, revealing the potential of the terroirs of this appellation.
