Prunelle De Navacelle Regnie 2020Prunelle de Navacelle is a trailblazing vigneronne in the emerging Beaujolais Lantigni region. She produces small lots of her personal project at her familys Chteau du Basty, home of the Perroud family since 1482. Prunelle farms old vines with regenerative agroecology methods to encourage biodiversity while fighting climate change. Located just north of Brouilly, west of Rgni, and less than one kilometer from the border of Morgon, Lantigni is a gem of
