WINE DESCRIPTION
Guy Breton, affectionately known as Petit Max, inherited the family domaine in 1986, succeeding his grandfather. Inspired by the traditionalist Jules Chauvet, Breton, along with vignerons Marcel Lapierre, Jean-Paul Thévenet, and Jean Foillard, formed the Gang of Four—a movement championing back-to-nature winemaking. Under the Gang's influence, Morgon, Breton's wine, embraces its natural expression—unadorned, untouched by cosmetic alterations. This approach results in a Morgon that's rustic, spicy, rich in schist minerals, and simultaneously refreshing and profoundly delightful. Guy Breton Régnié, a red wine from Beaujolais, embodies the same principles, showcasing exceptional vineyard features with well-drained soils and optimal sun exposure.
