The Régnié 2023 Vieilles Vignes from Domaine de Colonat is a refreshing and expressive red wine, made from Gamay grapes grown on old vines in the Beaujolais region. This wine shows a beautiful ruby colour and opens on the nose with lively aromas of raspberry, cherry and redcurrant, accompanied by subtle spicy notes and a touch of florality. On the palate the wine offers a delicious balance between freshness and softness, with ripe fruit flavours and supple tannins. The wine has a lightly spicy undertone that adds extra complexity. Thanks to the old vines, this Régnié has a more concentrated and refined character, with a soft, lasting finish. Domaine de Colonat uses traditional winemaking methods and hand harvesting to preserve the pure expression of the fruit. This wine is an excellent choice for a relaxed dinner, but can also be enjoyed on its own thanks to its fruity, approachable style.
Pair with charcuterie, roast pork or spicy vegetable dishes.
