Wine rated (2015 guide) 17,5/20 (Reference wine)
Rated estate (2015 guide): 3 stars (High-quality production, setting the standard in its sector)
About the wine:
Aromas of gingerbread and fresh pineapple, with just the right amount of structure and a finish of dried apricot.
About the estate:
Located near the village of Bonnezeaux, famous for its great sweet wines, this château offers a breathtaking view of the Layon Valley. A thousand years ago, great wines were already being produced on these hillsides, and today its new owner hopes to continue this legacy of excellence and dedicate himself to producing great 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 back and forth 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 high-quality winemakers producing wines of a good standard—you won’t be disappointed when you taste 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 and exceptionally refined Chenin style. 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.
