Antoine Sunier

Another new addition to our Beaujolais portfolio, Antoine Sunier, is one of the region’s hottest young talents. He established his domaine in 2014, hot on the heels of older brother Julien. Antoine’s holdings amount to no little more than five hectares, primarily in the Cru of Régnié. He farms organically (certified) and biodynamically. Vinified 100% whole bunch, the wines are characterised by explosive aromatics, granitic grip, freshness, and sheer buvabilité. The 2020 Régnié is blended from two terroirs – one sandy, the second alluvial – and raised in a combination of steel and 10 year-old barrel. The 2019 Montmorand, from a parcel of old vines on pebbly soil, where millérandage is prevalent, undergoes a longer maceration and ageing in 8 year-old barrels.
