Julien Sunier Régnié Magnum 2018
$140.00 inc. GST
1500ml bottle. (Must be ordered in quantities of 6)
Grape Variety: Gamay. This Beaujolais’ cru, often underestimated, does not have ashamed of its neighbor Morgon. Our Regnie comes from a separate and complementary types of land, a composite of deep granitic sand bringing greediness, friendliness and the other of stony soils of ancient alluvium spicy notes and structure to the wine.
A little less macerated on the skins than the other two crus, it will be appreciated from the bottling by its friendliness. On the nose, the vine peach dominates, followed by a smooth mouth with velvet tannins.

“Matured in used barrels from Chambolle-Musigny’s Domaine Roumier, this is the first bottling of Sunier’s 2018 Régnié, amounting to some 7,000 bottles out of a total production closer to 20,000. Wafting from the glass with scents of wild berries, potpourri and dark chocolate, it’s medium to full-bodied, fleshy and enveloping, with powdery structuring tannins, good concentration and a sapid finish. Recently bottled, I suspect it will perform even better with a year in the cellar.” – 92 Points, William Kelly, The Wine Advocate..

So nice to taste a Régnié, Fleurie and Morgon together, from the same producer and vintage. Importer: QED
Spicy and exotic, blackcurrant, raspberry, dried roses, sweet herbs and earth. Medium-bodied, supple and succulent, juicy raspberry and berry coulis, grilled meat and ‘mineral’ character, but all built around sweetness of fruit and inner perfume. Cherry pip acidity. Tannnin is ripe and dense, with a silty feel as it runs long on the palate. Such a seductive wine. So lovely.
