Régnié Les Vergers 2021

Les Vergers are plots of land in the Régnié Cru that benefit from an exceptional location. The vineyards are located in the heart of an orchard on the outskirts of an old castle. The nose is very floral, evoking scents of peony and aromas of berries. The mouth feel is very sensual and fleshy, with mineral notes, giving way to a beautiful acidity on the finish. It is a wine full of subtlety.
