Ducroux's 2008 Régnié displays some stemmy, green aromatic traits but integrates those with lovely fruit vibrancy and focused structure. Its slight leanness is actually welcome this time of year, rendering it quite refreshing, and also quite at home at the table, providing the requisite cut and freshness for a dinner of roast salmon or grilled chicken thighs. Day two brought a slight loss of focus but a very pleasing development of textural richness and mineral concentration.

Starts out with very tart, slightly underripe red berry fruit flavours over a spine of high acidity. With some air it fleshes out a little, gaining a little weight and showing some more interesting gravelly flavours, but generally remains quite bitter, stemmy and not particularly pleasant to drink.
