RVF

Issu de vignes de plus de 40 ans, Les Quartiers est un vin qui exprime toute la puissance de son cépage, le cabernet franc, planté sur un sol argilo-calcaire. Encore dans sa toute jeunesse, il est promis à un très bel avenir… pour celui qui saura le faire patienter deux petites années en cave. Une référence incontournable !

Wine rated (2017 guide) 15,5/20 (Good wine)

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 wine:

La matière burinée, vigoureuse des Quartiers, dont les saveurs larges rencontrent les sols argileux de leurs origines, est tenue par des tanins croquants mais fins.

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.

Review by Mr. FREDERIC B. Published on September 12, 2018

1° sur 3 bue en juin 2018 : un peu court en première bouche. Après 1/2 h, le nez s'ouvre et se complexifie avec une belle acidité. La bouche suit avec de belles notes de cerises, la finale est un peu courte courte. Très bon mais un cran en dessous / Grand Clos.
