Jacques Dépagneux, The Wine Society's Generation Series Régnié, Beaujolais, France 2022

Wines from Beaujolais have long been thirst-quenching favourites among Society members; the appellation is therefore an almost inevitable feature of the celebratory Generation Series’ line up. Offering drinkability and elegance in equal measures, this Régnié draws you in with its fragrant and lifted nose. A vibrant yet smooth palate - with great energy throughout - follows, bursting with spiced cherries, plum, blood orange and a delicious touch of white chocolate. Red apple crunch adds to the freshness and energy. A lovely wine, classic, vibrant and so enjoyable, with surprising persistence.
