Michael Regaud with his father Jean Pierre makes a range of white and red wines in this picturesque part to the south of Bordeaux. 60 hectares of vines are planted on mainly clay and limestone soil over a rocky subsoil, with small areas of sand and gravel. The wines are vinified in a new winery complex at Le Puy, the majority of reds being unoaked and bottled after 18 months maturation. A smaller quantity is oak matured to make a reserve style. The wines tend to be forward and approachable and made in a more modern style than many of their neighbours.
