Jean-Michel Dupré calls himself Artisan Vigneron, and by that he probably means that his wines are handcrafted as opposed to made in an industrial way. He has really old vines, which makes a big difference to the character of the wine, he says. This Régnié is made with gamay-vines that were planted in 1918.

This is a really delicious Beaujolais with generous fruit, structure and depth, and yet, easy and elegant in style. A bargain for around 10 euros. jeanmichel-dupre.com
