Wine rated (guide 2021) 92/100
Domaine rated (guide 2023) 1*Star (Stars in the making or quality winemakers with a good level of production, you won't be disappointed when you taste the wines from these estates)
About the wine:
On granite, Les Laures reveals an energetic dimension and a volume on the palate that sets it above the rest. Its fine grain is highly stimulating.
About the domain :
The Bonnet brothers, Jean-Jacques and Rémi, heirs to the family estate in La Chapelle-Heulin, converted their 40 hectares of vines to organic farming in 2005. Four terroirs have been vinified separately to bring out their finest expression. On Les Dabinières, a warm soil of gneiss and micaschist, the fruit expresses itself with roundness. On the amphibolite and micaschist soils of Les Gautronnières, the melon becomes mineral and taut. The poor, granitic soils of Les Laures produce a denser, fuller wine. Only made in good years and aged for 18 months on the lees (minimum requirement), Cru Communal Goulaine reveals its depth and seems well equipped for ageing. Cuvées full of energy and sparkle!
