Guy Breton · Régnié · 2025
Guy Breton's Régnié offers bright fruit and floral aromas with a taut, fresh expression of Gamay. This organic cru Beaujolais combines the appeal of fragrant fruit with a lively sense of tension, making it an inviting red for the table.
Producer & Terroir
Known to his friends as P’tit Max, Guy Breton took over his family's domaine from his grandfather in 1986. Alongside Marcel Lapierre, Jean-Paul Thévenet and Jean Foillard, he became part of the group known as the Gang of Four, championing traditional viticulture and a less interventionist approach to Beaujolais.
Breton first produced Régnié in 2008. The cuvée combines 40% domaine fruit with 60% purchased fruit and is aged in equal parts used barrels and tank. Its vineyards bring together older and younger vines on shallow soils.
Tasting Profile
Bright fruit and floral aromatics are balanced by a slightly tauter, more tense side of Gamay. Freshness and aromatic lift give the wine an engaging character alongside food.
Importer Commentary · Vintage Not Specified
Tom Wolf: By now, it’s no secret that Guy Breton is a wizard of Gamay. The only question is which spell you want him to cast on you. Is his Morgon incantation your favorite, or do you prefer when he transfixes you with his delicate Chiroubles? If you haven’t fallen under the charms of Guy’s Régnié yet, pour yourself a glass and glance back at the empty bottle a little while later. Blending a century-old vineyard with another filled with thirty-five-year-old vines, Guy taps into the shallow soil to draw out Gamay’s slightly more taut and tense side, balancing out the bright fruit and floral aromas beautifully.
Pairing & Serving Suggestions
Serve lightly chilled with roast chicken, charcuterie, mushroom dishes or a simple lentil salad. Its fresh profile makes it a versatile choice for a shared meal.
