Rated estate (2015 guide) 3 stars (High-quality production, serving as a benchmark in its sector)
About wine:
Nose of gingerbread and fresh pineapple, with just the right amount of tension behind it and a finish of dried apricot.
About the estate:
Located near the village of Bonnezeaux, famous for its great sweet wines, this château offers breathtaking views of the Layon Valley. A thousand years ago, great wines were already being produced on these hillsides, and today its new owner wishes to continue this tradition of excellence and work towards producing great Loire whites.
Guide des Vins Gault & Millau
Wine rated 16.5/20 (Very good)
About wine:
We appreciate the subtle blend of citrus and balsamic notes dancing incessantly on our taste buds. We also love the smooth, clear texture that seems to fade away at the end of the palate, allowing the lively citrus notes to die down.
RVF - La Revue du Vin de France / Guide des Meilleurs Vins de France
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.
