Expert opinion
Bettane & Desseauve
Domaine rated (2020 guide) 1*Star (A serious, recommendable production, in line with what one has the right to expect from its appellation(s))
About the domain :
The arrival of the talented Jean-Philippe Louis as technical director has breathed new life into this sleepy Saumurois beauty, for here we find clay-limestone and benevolent sunshine. The 2018s herald the estate's resurrection, with a fleshy, fruity cuvée of old vines in the reds. The white Clos des Oratoriens requires more patience. Stay tuned!
