Burgundy Domaine Regnard Chablis Grand Regnard 2018 Magnum

Maison Régnard - Chablis "Grand Régnard" 2018 Magnum

The Grand Régnard 2018 is the ultimate expression of the Maison's style: a wine focused on excellent selection to offer a Chablis of extreme finesse. In Magnum format, this Chardonnay benefits from slower evolution, preserving aromatic freshness and gaining silky complexity. The uniqueness of Grand Régnard lies in the blend of grapes exclusively from the most suitable vineyards, vinified with the aim of creating a cuvée that is the qualitative benchmark of the appellation.

Sensory Profile In the glass, it shines with a clear golden yellow with crystalline reflections. The nose is broad, typical of a warm and generous vintage like 2018, but maintaining the rigor of Chablis: notes of fresh butter, apricot, and withered white flowers blend with a powerful mineral streak reminiscent of wet flint. On the palate, the Magnum reveals an imposing structure; the sip is rich, enveloping, almost buttery, but supported by an acidic backbone that perfectly cleanses the palate. The finish is savory, very long, and marked by a noble note of ripe citrus.

Winemaking and Style Régnard's philosophy involves slow fermentation and long aging on lees exclusively in steel. Wood is not used to avoid altering the purity of the Chardonnay and the mineral signature of the Kimmeridgian soil. The choice of the 18th-century "bottichella" bottle is not just aesthetic, but emphasizes the deep connection with Burgundy's historical tradition.

Food Pairings Given its structure and prestigious format, it is ideal for special occasions. It pairs magnificently with noble shellfish (lobster and spiny lobster), seared scallops, fish in sauce, or Burgundian dishes such as chicken with cream and morels. Also extraordinary with aged Comté cheese.
