Several decades of determined campaigning by the local growers finally bore fruit in 1988 when Regnie became the tenth Cru of Beaujolais. The appellation covers 1500 acres of Gamay vines and it shares the same microclimate and characteristic granite subsoil as its immediate neighbors of Morgon to the north and Brouilly to the south. Maison Louis Latour selects only the highest-quality fruit, grown on the best-located sites, that displays the unique flavors of each Cru.
