Producer
Located between Morgon and Côte de Brouilly, Régnié is prized for its pink granite soils which are said to give a certain spicy note to its wines. The “Les Bruyères” cuvée is highly aromatic, with baked red berry, floral, and baking spice notes. The palate is fresh, medium bodied, and moderately firm. Needs a little time to soften. 2023-2027.–JB
Château de Durette, Les Brureaux, AOP Chénas
Chénas is located further north, bordered by Moulin-à-Vent and Juliénas. Les Brureaux is a particularly perfumed cuvée, with its intermingling of rose, peony, and wildflower notes over ripe dark fruits. The palate is satiny smooth and fresh, with an interesting nutty flavour that carries through the finish. 2023-2029.–JB
