“A superb, exuberant nose, offering rich ripe fruit, notes of violet, delicate flowers, and subtle spices; opulent on the palate, with a beautiful attack, savory tannins, fruit, length, and liveliness. Potential and charm. Excellent value for money.” (The Bettane & Desseauve Guide to French Wines 2018)

Bettane & Desseauve

Wine rated (2018 guide) 16/20 (Very good wine)

Rated estate (2020 guide) 1*Star (A high-quality, recommendable wine that lives up to what one would expect from its appellation(s))

About the wine:

A superb, exuberant nose, offering rich ripe fruit, notes of violet, delicate floral aromas, and subtle spices; opulent on the palate, with a beautiful attack, savory tannins, fruit, length, and liveliness. Full of potential and charm. Excellent value for money.

About the estate:

Marie-Hélène Léonard and Gilles Marsaudon, a former interior designer, settled in the Bourque region in 2002. For several vintages, these new winemakers experimented with extraction to find their style; now, the path seems clear toward a winemaking approach focused on fruit and refinement. All their efforts and funds are devoted to improving the vineyards and technical facilities. The investments are substantial, but the results speak for themselves. The La-Part-des-Fées cuvée, as well as Villa-Jeanne—an entry-level wine that is nonetheless barrel-aged—are at the pinnacle of charm, refinement, and balance. A property to watch closely.

Guide Hachette des vins

Rated estate (2020 guide) Award-winning wines (This producer’s wines regularly receive awards from the guide)

About the estate:

This estate in the Côtes-de-Bourg region takes its name from Sulpicius de Monteberiot, a 14th-century monk who founded the village of Mombrier. It was named by Gilles and Marie-Hélène Marsaudon—a former event decorator and a former wine sales representative who switched careers to become winemakers—who acquired this 7.3-hectare vineyard in 2003.
