Although the vines were first planted by the Romans on the slopes of Régnié-Durette, it was not until 1988 that the quality of the wines was recognised and the appellation was registered as a Beaujolais cru by the INAO. His Régnié vineyards are family-owned. They are the heart of our estate; I inherited them from my great-grandfather. As well as the sentimental value, these vines were the first plots I ever worked. The unique terroir of this plot, with its golden granite, gives a distinctive character to the wines and to our houses, which were built using the same stone.
