Régnié - Beaujolais Cru |
|
Vinegrowing 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.
