Julien Sunier Régnié 2021

Originally from Burgundy, where he worked from Beaune to Nuits-Saint-Georges, he created strong ties with the mythical Christophe Roumier, before charting longer flights to California and New Zealand. On his return, Julien secured the best positioned old vines on 9 hectares situated on the highest hills of three of the most prestigious crus of Beaujolais: Morgon, Fleurie and Régnié. The work of the land is organic and the focus is on expressing the granite profile of its vines in an elegant, almost ethereal way, with a delicate weave of tannins. Beaujolais with a ‘Chambollic’ soul!

"Julien Sunier established his own small domaine in 2008 after a period working with Christophe Roumier in Chambolle-Musigny, and he has quickly emerged as one of the region's rising stars. Committed to organic farming from the start, integral fermentation in low-temperature cement vats, followed by an élevage in used Burgundy barrels, are the fundamentals of its approach.The style is delicate, elegant and perfumed, emphasizing grace and charm. " William Kelley - Robert Parker 

Situated at the base of the Cote du Py hill, on the edge of the Morgon appellation, this 1.1 hectare plot is known as ‘En Oeillat’ and its vines are over 60 years old. The soil is very sandy pink granite. This Gamay makes its élevage in 20% cement tanks and 80% in neutral French barrels.
