Régnié is the most recent Beaujolais cru, declared in 1988. Charly Thevenet's 3 hectare plot of 100% Gamay is planted with 80+ year old vines in granitic soil. From importer Kermit Lynch: "(Charly) uses biodynamic farming techniques in the vineyard, never adding synthetic herbicides, pesticides, or fungicides to the vines. He harvests late, with an aggressive sorting of the grapes, adds minimal doses of sulfur dioxide, ages the wine in four-year-old Burgundian barriques, and bottles his wines unfiltered. Add a dose of that Thévenet talent, and you have a recipe for excellent wine!" The 2009 vintage garnered 90 and 92 points, respectively, from Robert Parker's Wine Advocate and Steven Tanzer's International Wine Celler.
