New 2009 vintage, the 2008 was rated: RVF 14.5/20, Bettane & Desseauve 14/20
This red Sancerre cuvée comes from a Pinot Noir harvest picked at full maturity, to give a powerful wine, expressing ripe red fruit aromas and a long finish. A beautiful expression of fruit for this powerful, gourmand ensemble that calls for a filet of pepper sauce...

Expert opinion
RVF - La Revue du Vin de France / Guide des Meilleurs Vins de France
Domaine noté (guide 2011) Sélectionné (We remind you that this guide is a prize list and as such, all the estates that appear in it, even without a star, represent, in our eyes, the excellence of French production).
About the domain :
"This thirty-something gentleman has been making a name for himself since 2000 with red Sancerre, but his ambitions don't stop with Pinot Noir. His Sauvignons are also rising in range and precision, expressing themselves in a rich, ripe style typical of the Bué area - particularly the Chêne Marchand sector."
