Régnié - Beaujolais Cru  

V
inegrowing goes back to very ancient times.
The Romans brought the vine to Gaul, to the Beaujolais region and to Régnié in particular,
this is shown by the discovery of vestiges of a gallo-roman villa, which belonged to Réginus,
a noble Roman who gave his name to the commune.
Monks developed this culture in the Middle Ages.

In the XVIII century the opening of the Briare canal meant that wine could be easily shipped to Paris and was favourable to the wine' s rapid commercial development.
From 1936, when the notion of AOC wines appeared,
the I.N.A.O. (Institut National des Appellations d' Origine) recognised the high quality of wines from Régnié, which joined the ranks of the nine other famous Beaujolais Crus
in 1988.
