"Les Quartiers 2022 was the last to be harvested. Its youthful, ripe style reflects the hot, sunny, dry season. Its maturity is almost Mediterranean, but its freshness and chalky character bring you back to the Loire, offering beautiful finesse and length. Black cherry and chocolate combine with a subtle menthol note, but without any trace of greenness or peppery spices." (Vinous 2025)

Wine rated (2026 guide) 92/100
Rated estate (2026 guide) 2 stars (These very large estates, often blessed with fabulous terroirs, are must-haves which, thanks to their consistency and the excellence of their production, deserve a place in the cellars of discerning wine lovers).
About wine:
The 2022 Quarters, more solar, is also more difficult to pin down at this stage. Its impressive concentration and stature need at least four to five years to blend.
About the estate:
Benoît arrived at the family estate in Bourgueil in 2003 to continue the family adventure started by his father Yannick in 1997. Two-thirds of the vineyard is located in Bourgueil, with the rest in the neighboring Saint-Nicolas-de-Bourgueil appellation. You can sense the winemakers' perfectionism and their desire to express the terroir through very silky and civilized Cabernet Franc wines that retain their vibrant fruitiness. The estate has been certified organic since 2009 and the wines are gaining in purity every year thanks to increasingly precise vinification methods (conical wooden vats, barrels and stoneware jars). The 2022 and 2023 vintages delight us with their frank, clear expression and finesse.
