The wine region of Régnié
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.
The wine region of Beaujolais
Kingdom of Gamay (98% of the vineyard): fruity, accessible reds with signature notes of cherry, raspberry, banana (carbonic maceration), violet and sweet spices, supple tannins and juicy acidity. From festive Beaujolais Nouveau (3rd Thursday of November) to the 10 more structured, age-worthy Crus: deep earthy Morgon, sturdy Moulin-à-Vent, floral Fleurie, crunchy Brouilly. Some lively Chardonnay. 12,000 ha south of Burgundy, granitic soils.
The word of the wine: Tanin
A natural compound contained in the skin of the grape, the seed or the woody part of the bunch, the stalk. The maceration of red wines allows the extraction of tannins, which give the texture, the solidity and also the mellowness when the tannins are "ripe". The winemaker seeks above all to extract the tannins from the skin, the ripest and most noble. The tannins of the seed or stalk, which are "greener", especially in average years, give the wine hardness and astringency. The wines of Bordeaux (based on Cabernet and Merlot) are full of tannins, those of Burgundy much less so, with Pinot Noir containing little.
