Expert opinion
Bettane & Desseauve
Domain rated (2015 guide) 3*Stars (High-quality production that can serve as a benchmark in its sector)
About the domain :
Located near the village of Bonnezeaux, famous for its great sweet wines, this château offers a breathtaking view over the Layon valley. A thousand years ago, great wines were already being made on these hillsides, and today its new owner wishes to continue this history of excellence and work for great Loire whites.
RVF - La Revue du Vin de France / Guide des Meilleurs Vins de France
Domaine rated (2009 guide) 1*Star (Stars in the making or quality winegrowers with a good level of production, you won't be disappointed when you taste the wines from these estates)
About the domain :
Situated in a microclimate exceptionally favorable to the development of noble rot, Fesles is to Bonnezeaux what Yquem is to Sautemais: the memory of the cru and the guardian of a full-bodied, racy style of chenin. Today, Bernard Germain's team, following in the footsteps of pastry chef Gaston Lenôtre, maintains the tradition while developing the range of dry whites, Fesles' new challenge.
