2020 Domaine Philippe Viet Regnie Mosaique Haute-Ronze, Beaujolais, France (750ml)

WINEMAKER'S NOTES:

100% Gamay

TASTING NOTES: 

The 2020 Régnié Mosaique comes from 50-year-old hand-picked vines, 100% whole bunches, and is vinified without sulphites in 30% stainless steel vat and 70% sandstone amphoras. It has a stunning bouquet with pure raspberry and wild strawberry scents, hints of rose petal and crushed stone. The palate is extremely well-balanced with a perfect line of acidity, very focused and complex with just the right amount of pepperiness on the finish. This is about as good a Régnié as you can find. Superb Monsieur Viet!

- Vinous, 94 pts. 

This is a richer Regnie with a swath of mulberries, blueberries, ripe cherries and cocoa. It’s medium- to full-bodied and ripe, with berry-soaked tannins. No sulfites added. Drink now or hold.
