Antoine Sunier Régnié "Montmerond"

To his stunning duo of cru wines from Morgon and Régnié, Antoine Sunier adds a single-vineyard wine made from old vines: the Montmerond in Régnié. Wines like these tell a different story of Beaujolais, acknowledging the region’s geographical distinctiveness and traditions, speaking of terroir in terms comparable to those of Burgundy or Champagne. This is perhaps the greatest contribution of the new generation to the region. Following organic farming and minimal intervention in the winery, it is now time to highlight great vineyards such as Montmerond, Gran Cras, or Côte du Py on the labels. The Régnié Montmerond, grown on shallow granitic soils at an altitude of 350 meters with a southern exposure, is a velvety, spicy, and structured wine with a long finish. Truly irresistible.
