"Off the beaten track, this proud-looking wine is a great bargain at a very small price!"
"True to form, the Vincent family has produced a fine Chardonnay with an intense nose of exotic fruit, citrus, yellow fruit and white flowers. Fruity, supple, fresh and long, the palate is equally seductive. An expressive, mouth-watering white". (Le Guide Hachette 2025).

Expert opinion
Guide Hachette des vins
Wine rated (guide 2025) 2*Stars (Outstanding wine)
Domaine noté (guide 2025) Award-winning wines (The wines of this producer are regularly awarded by the guide)
About the wine:
True to form, the Vincent family has produced a fine Chardonnay with an intense nose of exotic fruit, citrus, yellow fruit and white flowers. Fruity, supple, fresh and long, the palate is equally seductive. An expressive, mouth-watering white.
About the domain :
Managed by the younger generation, Stéphane, Julien and Vincent Denis, who arrived in 2003, 2006 and 2009 respectively, this is a family business that dates back to 1920; 5 ha at its origins, 90 ha today. A flagship estate in the Haut-Layon region, renowned in particular for its red wines, but also very much at ease with white and rosé wines. A (very) safe bet.

Note and review by M. RAPHAEL M. Published on 17/02/2024
very pleasant, but a dominant pear/banana aroma probably due to the type of fermentation, which makes the chardonnay and sauvignon taste the same.
