Lagneau is the pre-eminent producer of fine quality Régnié – a full-bodied Beaujolais style, with concentrated redcurrant and raspberry fruits.

Lagneau's Régnié vines have an average age of 55 years, giving low yields of well concentrated and balanced fruit – a truly gastronomic expression of the Gamay grape to accompany red meats and light game, but supple and enticing enough to enjoy on its own.

Gérard and Jeannine Lagneau are a wonderful welcoming couple – with Jeannine’s youthful, light-hearted manner offset by the more reserved and serious Gérard, who no doubt saves his energy for his six o’clock starts in the vineyard. And they do say that wines reflect the winemaker!

Lovely pure aromas of fresh, floral cherry/berry fruits with notes of violets. Palate shows a very good ripe plum/cherry fruit core, hints of musk and spice coupled with a good weight – fine persistence and balance.
