Maison Régnard is an old Chablis winery in Burgundy, founded in 1860. It is one of the last Chablis wineries with all its cellars in the historic city center, a testament to its noble past. It was acquired in 1984 by Baron Patrick Ladoucette, who took over the winery and continued to perpetuate and refine the style and typical character of the wines.
With respect for tradition, Maison Régnard produces the 7 Grands Crus de Chablis (Les Clos, Bougros, Blanchots, Grenouilles, Preuses, Valmur and Vaudésir), the 5 most important Premiers Crus (Fourchaume, Montmains, Vaillons, Montée de Tonnerre and Mont de Midden), Chablis, Petit Chablis.
The grapes for Régnard Chablis Grand Régnard come from vineyards approximately 30 years old, planted in clay and limestone soils from the late Jurassic period. Harvesting is carried out by hand, and the grapes are gently pressed upon arrival in the cellar. They then ferment and undergo malolactic fermentation in stainless steel tanks to slightly reduce acidity and impart a touch of lactic acid. Finally, the wine is aged on the lees for twelve months. This gives the wine abundant fruit and suppleness, along with refined acidity.
The aroma is intense and refined; tropical fruit, apple, white peach, nuts, and an elegant citrus note. The palate offers excellent freshness and a beautiful balance with abundant fruit, generous and minerally, citrusy notes. Chablis Grand Régnard is an extremely captivating Chablis with complex fruity notes and a perfect flavor structure. Chablis Grand Régnard is bottled in a classic, stylish bottle.
