Régnié La Cadole / Vernus 2021
More vintage
The plot "La Cadole" takes back its historical name and becomes "Vernus" in 2021. Sheltered by a large wall next to the main house, this old vineyard has attracted a lot of attention. It produces berries with a "millerandé" effect, a wine with a very concentrated nose of black fruit aromas and peppery notes. The mouth feel is very smooth and elegant, with noble tannins, spicy notes, and a nice length. An exceptional wine.
