Robert Parker writes: " This field alone constitutes a category. A benchmark in Bonnezeaux, he also produces excellent Anjou dry reds and whites, such as this cuvée, 100% Chenin, from the legendary "The Chapel", the highest quality in the region. This is a dry white Anjou wine of great elegance that confirms the superb expression of a fabulous terroir!

Nose dominated by fern, lime blossom, and elderflower

Very nice balance of flavors with a round and silky attack. No noticeable acidity. The aromatic complexity expresses itself through dried fruits (hazelnut, almond), elderberry, and toast. Very long finish.

Rated estate (2009 guide) 1*Star (Up-and-coming stars or quality winemakers producing good-quality wines; you won't be disappointed when tasting the wines from these estates)
About the estate:
Located in a microclimate that is exceptionally favorable to the development of noble rot, Fesles is to Bonnezeaux what Yquem is to Sauternes: the memory of the vintage and the guardian of a full-bodied, highly distinguished style of Chenin. Today, Bernard Germain's team, following in the footsteps of pastry chef Gaston Lenôtre, maintains the tradition while advancing the range of dry whites, Fesles' new venture.
