Julien Sunier learned his craft in Burgundy alongside Christophe Roumier, one of the Cote de Nuits' great names—and it shows in how he treats Gamay. This is Regnie, the youngest of the ten Beaujolais crus, from old vines on sandy granite, fermented whole-cluster with native yeasts and raised in old wood so nothing gets in the way of the fruit. The result is Beaujolais made like fine Burgundy: pale, perfumed, and lifted, all crunchy red berries and floral snap. Give it a couple minutes in the glass to unfurl. Cool it slightly and it disappears alarmingly fast.

"The 2023 Régnié, matured 50% in foudres and 50% in used barrels with 100% whole bunch, is quite backward on the nose and needs encouragement in the glass, but opens gradually with wild strawberry, raspberry and light wilted rose petal scents coming through. The palate is medium-bodied with crunchy red berry fruit, gentle grip and a sapid orange rind-tinged finish. Very fine." —Neal Martin

More about Julien Sunier

Julien was introduced to the winemaking world by none other than Christophe Roumier, a client of Julien's mother's hair salon. After working with Christophe he went to New Zealand and California to continue his winemaking studies (and surf). For about a decade now Julien has been refining his own small domaine in Beaujolais, with holdings in some of the top crus. He has always farmed organically, and is now fully certified. His wines have gained widespread praise and are much loved in both the Natural Wine and Old-School Beaujolais circles.

Flatiron's Take

From the Importer

What Polaner Selections has to say about this wine:

Vineyard

Situated at the base of the Cote du Py hillside on edge of the Morgon appellation, this parcel of 1.1 hectares is known as En Oeillat and has an average vine age of 60 years.

Orientation

Southern oriented

Soil

Sanded and pink granite, clay sub-soil

Viticulture

Organic farming, harvesting done entirely by hand.

Vinification

Indigenous yeast fermentations in concrete vats at low temperatures, to preserve fresh fruit flavors and a delicate tannic structure. After fermentations are complete, fruit is slowly pressed, over a 24 hour period, using an ancient vertical press Julien acquired in the Côte D’Or.

Aging

20% aged in cement and 80% in neutral French barrels.

Tasting Notes & Food Pairings

Perfect Pairings

Roast chicken, charcuterie, or grilled salmon—serve with a slight chill.

Tasting Profile

Light, fresh, and floral, with crunchy wild strawberry and raspberry, a hint of rose petal, gentle grip, and bright acidity.
