Cabernet Franc
ready-to-drink
instant gratification

Cote 50, the latest vintage of La Coudraye, stands out for its consistency, year after year. A Bourgueil that remains highly expressive, with delicate notes of pomegranate and cranberry, accented by a hint of spice. A fresh and fruity wine, both crisp and rich.

RVF - La Revue du Vin de France / Guide des Meilleurs Vins de France

Rated wine (2020 guide) 15.5/20 (2018 vintage) (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 estate:

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

Definitely the best Bourgueil I've had in a long time. It's clearly a cut above what's sold at supermarket wine fairs.
