Produced from sustainably farmed vineyards on rare granitic soils in the Régnié cru, this limited-production magnum combines vibrant fruit, floral lift, mineral precision, and refined structure. Crafted from 42-year-old vines grown on south-facing slopes at approximately 320 meters elevation, the wine reflects the distinctive character of the Vernus vineyard site. The combination of shallow altered granite and deep saprolite soils contributes freshness, tension, and complexity to the final wine. Hand-harvested and meticulously sorted, the grapes undergo a traditional yet precise vinification process including cold maceration, natural fermentation with indigenous yeasts, and a gentle extraction regimen featuring grape-treading, pump-overs, and délestage. The wine is then aged equally in oak barrels and stainless steel tanks to preserve purity while adding depth and texture. The result is a beautifully balanced Régnié bursting with aromas of violets, peonies, crushed stones, raspberry, black cherry, blueberry, and wild herbs. On the palate, the wine is concentrated yet graceful, with silky tannins, bright acidity, and a long, polished finish. Presented in a 1.5 Liter Magnum, this wine is ideal for collectors, entertaining, and cellaring. Critical Acclaim 94 Points – James Suckling “Enveloping nose of red fruit and summer flowers that's wonderfully bright and subtle. As sleek as it is elegant on the very focused, medium-bodied palate.
