One of the estate's greatest successes!

Made from grapes grown on vines over 40 years old, here is “ Neighborhoods "2005, an excellent vintage that fully expresses the power of its grape variety, Cabernet Franc, grown on clay-limestone soil. A success that has been widely praised" 15,5/20 by the RVF in this great vintage with aging potential. This wine, still very young, has a very bright future ahead of it… for those who are willing to let it age for just two short years in the cellar. A must-have!

Rated Estate (2026 Guide) 2*Stars (These exceptional estates, often boasting fabulous terroirs, are must-haves that, thanks to the consistency and excellence of their wines, deserve a place in the cellars of discerning wine lovers)

About the estate:

Benoît arrived at the family estate in Bourgueil in 2003 to continue the family venture started by his father, Yannick, in 1997. Two-thirds of the vineyard is located in Bourgueil, with the remainder in the neighboring appellation of Saint-Nicolas-de-Bourgueil. You can sense the winemakers’ perfectionism and their commitment to expressing the terroirs through Cabernet Francs that are silky smooth and refined, yet retain vibrant fruit. The estate has been certified organic since 2009, and the wines gain in purity each year thanks to increasingly precise winemaking techniques (truncated-cone wooden vats, barrels, and stoneware jars). The 2022 and 2023 vintages delight us with their frank, clean expression and finesse.
