Bettane & Desseauve

La Coudraye shines with its consistency, vintage after vintage. A Bourgueil that is always very expressive, with delicate notes of pomegranate and cranberry, slightly spiced. A fresh and fruity wine, both crisp and delicious... A sure bet to discover in a great vintage!

About the estate:

 

RVF - La Revue du Vin de France / Guide to the Best Wines of France

RVF - La Revue du Vin de France / Guide des Meilleurs Vins de France

Rated estate (2026 guide) 2 stars (These very large estates, often blessed with fabulous terroirs, are must-haves which, thanks to their consistency and the excellence of their production, deserve a place in the cellars of discerning wine lovers).

About the estate:

Benoît arrived at the family estate in Bourgueil in 2003 to continue the family adventure started by his father Yannick in 1997. Two-thirds of the vineyard is located in Bourgueil, with the rest in the neighboring Saint-Nicolas-de-Bourgueil appellation. You can sense the winemakers' perfectionism and their desire to express the terroir through very silky and civilized Cabernet Franc wines that retain their vibrant fruitiness. The estate has been certified organic since 2009 and the wines are gaining in purity every year thanks to increasingly precise vinification methods (conical wooden vats, barrels and stoneware jars). The 2022 and 2023 vintages delight us with their frank, clear expression and finesse.

Still very nice, the 2017 is less sunny than the 2015 but it is fresh with substance.

A little disappointed by this Bourgueil, which lacks charm and body.
