"A Côt with a capital C!"
Hundred-year-old vines give this dazzling cuvée the ability to express the aromas of Côt with great distinction. The result is a wine of rare complexity, with aromas of jammy black fruit and floral nuances. The fine tannins and full-bodied mouthfeel will delight your taste buds with stewed meat.

Expert opinion
Bettane & Desseauve
Rated 92/100 (Vintage 2020)
Domaine rated (guide 2025) 2*Stars (A serious and recommendable production, but a little more regular and homogeneous than the previous one)
About the domain :
President of the Montlouis appellation, Damien Delecheneau produces, on his 15 hectares of biodynamically farmed land, wines with a pedagogical approach that can serve as examples for the Touraine, Touraine - Amboise and Montlouis appellations. The vintages are extremely precise and natural; between 15 and 30 euros, they're a bargain. The reds express their floral juiciness. The old côt vines erase the varietal's rusticity to achieve perfect balance. The whites, with their subtle texture, are harvested at perfect maturity and are always well-balanced. These are full-bodied, pure wines with a mineral finish that rings true. An address not to be missed. This year's favorites are the côt vieilles vignes from Amboise and the Montlouis nouveau nez...

Rated (guide 2024) 93/100 (Vintage 2020)
Domaine rated (guide 2025) 2*Stars (These great estates, often endowed with fabulous terroirs, are must-haves which, thanks to their consistency and the excellence of their production, must be included in the cellars of discerning wine lovers).
About the domain :
From their 15-hectare vineyard in Montlouis-sur-Loire, Touraine and Touraine-Amboise, Coralie and Damien Delecheneau have established themselves as industry leaders. With the greatest respect for nature and their terroirs, the couple cultivate their old vines biodynamically (certified in 2014). Several of the côt vines are even a hundred years old, producing a cuvée of remarkable depth and subtlety. In the cellar, the two oenologists skilfully and sensitively accompany healthy grapes harvested at perfect maturity. From vinification to ageing in concrete vats and old barrels, everything is absolutely fair and measured, and these great, nuanced wines never lapse into exuberance. When each bottle is opened, the chenin whites reveal themselves with rare purity and delicacy, while the reds captivate with their subtlety and floral radiance.
