Antoine Sunier Regnie Montmerond Gamay

You’ve likely heard of Beaujolais from one of the 10 designated villages (“Cru Beaujolais” or Cru Beau for short)? This is even more refined – a Beaujolais form a single vineyard!

Relative to the 'Village' versions of Beujolais, this wine, from 60+ year-old vines in the Montmerond vineyard, brings an extra layer of complexity and weight to your glass. Deep and rich with a well-delineated mineral and structural framework, Montmerond has been farmed organically for many years. To this wine it lends great tension and longevity.

The fruit is beguiling and delicious from the outset, but given time it will exhibit impressive notes of truffle, leather, dusty earth and plums. With a bit of time under its belt, I’d feel confident putting this wine up against many fine Burgundies.
