Domaine de Montgilet - Coteaux de l'Aubance Les Trois Schistes 2022 (Liquoreux)
90/100
James Suckling
"This vintage, with its perfect balance between sweetness and acidity, is destined to be an excellent wine for aging."
"A dense, comforting wine with aromas of peaches, baked lemons, and acacia honey on the nose, followed by a smooth, medium-bodied palate. Generous, yet retaining a certain liveliness in its silky finish. Drink now." (James Suckling).

About the estate:
Victor and Vincent Lebreton are faithful interpreters of the Coteaux-de-l'Aubance. The brothers took over the family estate in 1986 and cultivate 60 hectares of vines on different plots and types of schist. This allows them to produce single-vineyard wines with subtle nuances, reflecting the resonance of blue (Le Tertereaux), gray (Clos-des-Huttières) and purple (Le Clos-Prieur) schist soils. A friendly place with reasonable prices. The range naturally shows its best qualities in the Aubance. The reds are simple and delicious, focused on immediate pleasure.

About the estate:
This estate located on the outskirts of Angers is a benchmark in the region, particularly when it comes to "Angevin delicacies," with superb Coteaux-de-l'Aubance wines on the menu. At the helm of the estate created by his grandfather Victor and developed by his father, also named Victor, Vincent Lebreton has been in charge since 1995, managing (in a very sustainable manner) 75 hectares of slate-rich terroir. The sixth generation is now supporting him.
