He&#8217;s the brother of Julien Sunier, who has been making wines in Beaujolais since 2008, and he came to the region in 2014 to set up this new domaine. So I guess this makes these the first releases. The Sunier&#8217;s father was a barber from Dijon, so the two brothers have come into the region and started from scratch. Antione uses just a little sulfur dioxide at bottling, so I guess these would qualify as natural wines, whatever that means. I was impressed.<\/p>\n<p class=\"western\"><strong>Antoine Sunier R\u00e9gni\u00e9\u00a02014 Beaujolais, France<br \/>\n<\/strong>12% alcohol. Floral violet and black cherry nose with hints of spice and meat, and some fresh raspberries, too. The palate shows bright raspberries and cherries with purity and power. There&#8217;s an almost chalky edge to the fruit. Lovely structure and precision here. Real finesse and focus. 93\/100<strong><br \/>\n<\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"western\"><strong>Antoine Sunier Morgon 2014 Beaujolais, France<\/strong><br \/>\n12% alcohol. Robust, spicy and a bit meaty with lovely raspberry and cherry fruit, as well as subtle herbal notes. Grippy and a bit peppery. This is a direct, edgy wine with good acidity and a savoury edge to the fruit. 92\/100<\/p>\n<p class=\"western\">UK agent: Indigo Wine<\/p>\n<p>Find this wine with <a href=\"http:\/\/www.wine-searcher.com\/index.lml?referring_site=WAN\" target=\"_blank\">wine-searcher.com<\/a><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.wineanorak.com\/wineblog\/california\/rpm-a-serious-gamay-from-california\" target=\"_blank\">Gamay 1 \u2013 RPM Gamay Noir California<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.wineanorak.com\/wineblog\/beaujolais\/gamay-focus-1-metrat-la-scandaleuse-2013\" target=\"_blank\">Gamay 2 \u2013\u00a0Domaine Metrat Chiroubles \u2018La Scandaleuse\u2019<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.wineanorak.com\/wineblog\/canada\/gamay-focus-3-orofino-2013-similkameen-valley-bc-canada\" target=\"_blank\">Gamay 3 \u2013 Orofino, Similkameen Valley, British Columbia<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.wineanorak.com\/wineblog\/natural-wine\/gamay-focus-4-julien-sunier-fleurie-2013\" target=\"_blank\">Gamay 4 \u2013 Julien Sunier Fleurie<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.wineanorak.com\/wineblog\/south-africa\/gamay-focus-5-radford-dale-thirst-gamay-noir\" target=\"_blank\">Gamay 5- Radford Dale Thirst Gamay, South Africa<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.wineanorak.com\/wineblog\/beaujolais\/gamay-focus-6-desvignes-morgon-javernieres-les-impenitents-2011\" target=\"_blank\">Gamay 6 \u2013 Louis Claude Desvignes Morgon Javerni\u00e8res \u2018Les Imp\u00e9nitents\u2019<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.wineanorak.com\/wineblog\/france\/gamay-focus-7-domaine-des-hauts-de-chasselay-coteaux-du-lyonnais\" target=\"_blank\">Gamay 7 \u2013 Hauts de Chasselay, Coteaux du Lyonnais<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.wineanorak.com\/wineblog\/france\/gamay-focus-8-domaine-serol-les-originelles-2014-cote-roannaise\" target=\"_blank\">Gamay 8 \u2013 Serol Les Originelles, Cote Roannaise<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.wineanorak.com\/wineblog\/new-zealand\/gamay-focus-9-te-mata-gamay-noir-2014-hawkes-bay-new-zealand\" target=\"_blank\">Gamay 9 \u2013 Te Mata Gamay Noir, Hawkes Bay<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.wineanorak.com\/wineblog\/france\/gamay-focus-10-puy-dome-gamay-2013-from-the-auvergne\" target=\"_blank\">Gamay 10 \u2013 Puy de Dome, Auvergne<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.wineanorak.com\/wineblog\/uncategorized\/gamay-focus-11-chateau-de-beauregard-fleurie-poncie-2013\" target=\"_blank\">Gamay 11 \u2013 Beauregard Fleurie<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.wineanorak.com\/wineblog\/beaujolais\/gamay-focus-12-two-lovely-cru-beaujolais-from-antoine-sunier\" target=\"_blank\">Gamay 12 \u2013 Antoine Sunier Morgon 2014 and Regnie 2014<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.wineanorak.com\/wineblog\/beaujolais\/gamay-focus-13-thibault-liger-belair-moulin-a-vent-les-rouchaux-2011\" target=\"_blank\">Gamay 13 \u2013 Thibault Liger-Belair Les Roucheaux 2011<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.wineanorak.com\/wineblog\/oregon\/gamay-focus-14-bow-arrow-gamay-2014-oregon\" target=\"_blank\">Gamay 14 &#8211;
