Rated estate (2015 guide): 3 stars (High-quality production, setting the standard in its sector)

Aromas of gingerbread and fresh pineapple, with a nice bit of acidity in the middle 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 aims to continue this legacy of excellence and dedicate himself to crafting exceptional white wines from the Loire.
Guide des Vins Gault & Millau
Wine rated 16.5/20 (Very good)
About the wine:
We appreciate the subtle blend of citrus and balsamic notes that dance endlessly across our taste buds. We also love the smooth, crystal-clear texture that seems to fade away on the finish, allowing the zesty citrus notes to gradually subside.
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 wines of a high standard—you won’t be disappointed when tasting the wines from these estates)
About the estate:
Located in a microclimate exceptionally conducive to the development of noble rot, Fesles is to Bonnezeaux what Yquem is to Sauternes: the embodiment of the terroir and the guardian of a full-bodied, supremely elegant style of Chenin Blanc. Today, Bernard Germain’s team, following in the footsteps of pastry chef Gaston Lenôtre, upholds tradition while advancing the range of dry whites—Fesles’s latest venture.
