Régnié La Cadole / Vernus 2020

"La Cadole" is a plot of land bordering the estate. Sheltered by a large wall delimiting a wooded park, this old vineyard has received a lot of attention. It produces a generous wine with pronounced aromas of black fruits. The nose is intense, the mouth is ample with a beautiful acidity in the end which lets feel the millerand side of the vintage. An exceptional wine.
