Guide des meilleurs vins de France 2020 about Domaine les Capréoles: "Cédric Lecareux is one of those neo-winemakers who are getting Beaujolais moving. Technical director of a major Languedoc négociant for six harvests, he settled in Régnié with his wife Catherine, an agricultural engineer like himself, on an abandoned domaine. As soon as they arrived, in 2014, they committed to organic certification, confirmed in 2017. Adhering to the maxim "the rule is that there are no rules", they adapt de-stemming and ageing to each vintage. Marked by a rich base, juicy tannins, the wines give Régnié its true cru status."

What a success this Diaclase du Domaine des Capréoles cuvée is! Produced from the oldest plots and aged in oak barrels, this cuvée offers great aromatic complexity carried by a firm, yet very silky structure. Full-bodied and long on the palate, with a lovely freshness. This is a great Régnié that can be enjoyed immediately on the fruit, but which will reveal many other facets over the course of its 15 years of ageing.Close

The cuvée Alio Pacto is the grand cuvée of the domaine les Capréoles. The grapes come from an old vineyard plot on a southwest-facing slope, situated on a vein of Lantignié microgranite. This plot was harvested for the first time in 2018 after several years ravaged by hail. On this plot, almost everything is done by hand. Only the best vintages will be bottled.
The wine is powerful with lots of rich fruit and very silky tannins. It will introduce you to another face of Beaujolais, produced in another way (alio pacto, in Latin), for another pleasure!
