Régnié Vernus 2022
More vintage
The plot runs alongside a large wall adjoining the main house, and this ancient vineyard has been the object of much attention. It produces berries with a "millerandé" effect, yet retains a beautiful freshness. The nose is highly concentrated with aromas of ripe fruit. The palate is full-bodied and warm, with some woody notes. The acidity is present and brings a fine balance. An exceptional wine.
