Régnié La Cadole / Vernus 2023
More vintage
The plot runs alongside a large wall adjoining the estate, and this ancient vineyard has been the object of much attention. It produces berries with a “millerandé” effect, while retaining a beautiful freshness. This vintage confirms this, with a very fresh, complex initial nose that then reveals notes of tobacco and roasting. The palate is very pleasant, with a subtle balance between complexity, acidity and tannin. A wine with excellent length, a promising vintage.
