Possibly the most underrated of the truly great Beaujolais producers, Georges Descombes works alongside the Gang of Four crowd around Marcel Lapierre. His Regnie is the perfumed and exotic cru in his lineup - all high-toned red fruit, florals, and lift, made the same way as his serious bottlings: ambient yeasts, semi-carbonic, only a tiny bit of sulfur. Organic, transparent, and brilliantly drinkable. A killer house red with soul to spare.

"The 2023 Régnié comes from the fruit of older vines which matured in tank and foudres. It has finely delineated raspberry and wild strawberry scents on the nose. The palate is fresh and saline on the entry, featuring tart red cherry tones with a short, citrus-like but quite impactful finish. Drink this over the next four or five years." —Neal Martin

More about Georges Descombes

Georges Descombes may not be as famous as his friends Jean Foillard and the Lapierres, but his cru Beaujolais are every bit as elegant and energetic. He grew up working his father's vines, and tasting a Marcel Lapierre wine as a young man set his course. Based in Villié-Morgon since taking over in 1988, he farms about 15 hectares organically across Morgon, Brouilly, Régnié and Chiroubles. In the cellar: native yeasts, semi-carbonic fermentation in cement, barrel aging for the old-vine cuvées, and patience.
