Expert opinion
Guide Hachette des vins
Wine rated 2*Stars (Vintage 2018) (Remarkable wine)
Domaine noté (guide 2021) Award-winning wines (The wines of this producer are regularly awarded by the guide)
About the domain :
On the heights of Bourg, an estate that has been in the family for over a century, commanded by a small 15th-century château revisited in the 19th century, with pepper-pot towers. Valérie and Philippe Bassereau took over the reins in 1990. The size of the vineyard (45 ha) enables them to offer wines that are anything but confidential.
