List of products by brand MAISON REGNARD

Established in Chablis, Yonne, since 1860, Maison Regnard is one of the appellation's most respected addresses, working exclusively with Chardonnay on the celebrated Kimmeridgian limestone soils that define white Burgundy at its most mineral. Founded by Zéphir Régnard, the House was acquired in 1984 by Baron Patrick de Ladoucette, who raised its ambitions considerably — notably in 1992 with the creation of the Grand Régnard, a prestige cuvée in an eighteenth-century-style bottle. At Halles Quercamps, we selected this House for the precision and mineral clarity of its Chablis, the rigour of its parcel selections, and a style that faithfully renders the iodine-edged, chalky character of the terroir. A distinguished reference for lovers of white Burgundy.

Founded in 1860 in the town of Chablis by Zéphir Régnard, Maison Regnard stands among the most historically significant names in this northern Burgundy appellation. Acquired in 1984 by Baron Patrick de Ladoucette, the House today embodies a demanding and coherent vision of Chardonnay grown on Kimmeridgian soils — one of France's most distinctive and storied terroirs.

A House with deep roots in Chablis

Chablis occupies a singular position within Burgundy. Set apart from the Côte-d'Or, further north in the Yonne département, it owes its character to a combination of cool continental climate and ancient geology that no other French appellation can replicate. Maison Regnard has been part of this landscape for over 160 years, accumulating an intimate understanding of the appellation's rhythms, its vintages, and its finest parcels.

When Baron Patrick de Ladoucette — already the driving force behind the celebrated Maison de Ladoucette in Pouilly-Fumé — took ownership in 1984, he brought with him both the resources and the ambition to elevate Maison Regnard to a higher level. The House's 10 hectares of vines are planted exclusively with Chardonnay, on the Kimmeridgian limestone and clay soils that are the hallmark of the appellation: ancient seabed, rich in fossilised oyster shells, which impart that unmistakable saline, mineral tension to the wines.

Terroir and winemaking philosophy

The Kimmeridgian subsoil of Chablis is not merely a geological curiosity — it is the foundation of everything that distinguishes a great Chablis from any other white Burgundy. The calcium-rich, well-drained soils stress the vine in productive ways, limiting vigour and concentrating flavour in the berry. The well-exposed hillside sites selected by Maison Regnard allow the Chardonnay to ripen fully while retaining the natural acidity that gives Chablis its celebrated freshness and ageing potential.

In 1992, Baron de Ladoucette created the Grand Régnard, a prestige cuvée bottled in a hand-blown eighteenth-century-style bottle — a deliberate statement of intent. This cuvée represents the pinnacle of the House's selection, drawing on the finest parcels and the most careful élevage. It is a wine conceived for the cellar as much as the table, and one that illustrates the seriousness with which Maison Regnard approaches its craft.

The wines of Maison Regnard

Maison Regnard produces exclusively white wines from the Chablis appellation, working across the appellation's full hierarchy. The range offers a coherent progression from the freshness of village-level Chablis through to the greater depth and complexity of Premier Cru and Grand Cru selections, culminating in the prestige Grand Régnard cuvée.

• Chablis (AOC) — Precise, mineral, and refreshing; the classic expression of Kimmeridgian Chardonnay at village level.
• Chablis Premier Cru — Greater structure and length, reflecting the character of individual classified hillside sites.
• Chablis Grand Cru — The appellation's highest classification; wines of depth, tension, and considerable ageing potential.
• Grand Régnard — The House's prestige cuvée, created in 1992; presented in an eighteenth-century-style bottle, for those seeking Chablis at its most ambitious.

Why we have selected Maison Regnard

At Halles Quercamps, we are drawn to producers who express their terroir with clarity and without artifice. Maison Regnard does precisely that. The mineral precision of these Chablis — that characteristic combination of chalk, iodine, and citrus — is consistently achieved across the range, from the entry-level village wine to the Grand Régnard. We value the rigour of the House's parcel selection, and the coherence of a style that has remained faithful to the appellation's identity through successive vintages.

This is a House we recommend with confidence to confirmed lovers of white Burgundy, and equally to those who are discovering Chablis for the first time and wish to understand what the appellation is truly capable of. At the table, these wines are natural partners for native oysters — a pairing with an almost geological logic given the fossilised shells in the soil — as well as for grilled Dover sole, scallops, or a well-aged Comté.
