« Cote 50 se montre nettement plus juteux et construit par des tanins salivants, sur une finale très digeste et équilibrée. » (Le Guide RVF 2023). Cote 50, la dernière édition de la Coudraye, brille par sa régularité, millésime après millésime. Un Bourgueil toujours très expressif, sur de délicates notes de grenade et de cranberry légèrement épicées. Un vin frais et fruité, à la fois croquant et gourmand.

Wine rated (2023 guide) 89/100

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:

Avec ses 12,5° d'alcool, Cote 50 se montre nettement plus juteux et construit par des tanins salivants, sur une finale très digeste et équilibrée.

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.
