About this wine
Antoine Sunier's flagship Régnié is a blend from the lieux-dits Les Forchets and Le Potet, granite-soil parcels averaging around 45 years of vine age. Whole-cluster grapes undergo carbonic maceration with indigenous yeasts and minimal sulfur, yielding a vibrant, light-to-medium bodied Gamay with juicy red cherry and raspberry fruit, violet and floral notes, a touch of spice, silky tannins and a fresh, mineral-driven finish.
A juicy, food-friendly natural Gamay that's easy to love from the first sip.
Sommelier's Note
"This is Beaujolais natural wine at its purest — proof that carbonic maceration can deliver both immediacy and genuine terroir expression."
Food Pairings
Excellent with herb-roasted chicken, pork tenderloin with cherry reduction, grilled salmon or tuna with lemon-herb butter, Margherita pizza, and tomato-based pasta with basil.
When to drink it
Casual weeknight dinners, bistro-style meals with friends, everyday drinking.

レニエ モンムロン
Régnié Montmerond
RedGamay
First released in the 2018 vintage, this single-parcel cuvée comes from a 1.5-hectare plot on pure granite soil in the Montmerond lieu-dit, planted with south-facing, 60-year-old vines at roughly 350 meters altitude. Natural fermentation with indigenous yeasts and carbonic maceration for 10 to 15 days give the wine remarkable depth, followed by aging in barrels sourced from Burgundy winemaker Sylvain Pataille and bottling with very little sulfur.
モルゴン
Morgon
RedGamay
Sourced from 1.2 hectares of 60-plus-year-old vines in the Croix de Chevre sector of Grand Cras, this Morgon reflects the appellation's rocky, mineral-rich soils. Whole-cluster carbonic maceration with indigenous yeasts gives an earthy, energetic wine with mineral-tinged cherry, black raspberry and violet aromas, dark berry and cherry-preserve flavors with a touch of cola, framed by fresh acidity and tightly bound tannins.

Beaujolais-Villages Poursuite
RedGamay
Poursuite is Antoine Sunier's Beaujolais-Villages cuvée, made from organically farmed, roughly 50-year-old vines in Régnié that are declassified from cru status. A short, six-day carbonic maceration started with a pied de cuve and aging in cement produce a bright, fresh, and highly drinkable Gamay with wild strawberry and cranberry fruit, fine tannins and lively acidity.
