2021 Domaine de la Beche - Regnie

Bright and expressive, this 2021 Régnié from Domaine de la Beche showcases Beaujolais craftsmanship at its most vibrant. The wine presents a lively, cherry-berry core with refreshing acidity and a subtle mineral lift that speaks to its granite-soil origins.

• Aromas: Ripe red cherry, cranberry, and raspberry mingle with violet notes and a dash of understated spice.
• Palate: Medium-bodied with energetic acidity and silky tannins, delivering flavors of red fruits—cherry, cranberry, and a hint of plum—alongside a mineral, stone-like edge.
• Finish: Clean, fruit-forward finish that lingers with a touch of pepper and mineral nuance.

The wine is crafted to preserve its bright fruit and freshness, a hallmark of Regnié and Beaujolais Cru style. Expect a wine that is approachable now, yet structured enough to pair confidently with a range of dishes.

• Terroir and style: Grown on granite soils and crafted to emphasize vibrant fruit and clarity, typically vinified in stainless steel to retain crispness and purity of flavor.

• Food pairings: Roasted chicken, herb-crusted pork, grilled sausage with vegetables, mushroom risotto, and soft cheeses such as goat cheese or young, mellow cheeses.

• Serving suggestions: Serve slightly chilled at 13–15°C (55–59°F). Decant for 15–20 minutes to help open the aromas. Best enjoyed within a few years of vintage while its freshness remains at its peak.
