“Les Quartiers 2022 was the last to be harvested. Its youthful yet mature style reflects the hot, sunny, and dry growing season. Its ripeness is almost Mediterranean, but its freshness and chalky character bring you back to the Loire, offering beautiful finesse and length. Black cherry and chocolate blend with a subtle minty note, yet without any trace of green or peppery spice.” (Vinous 2025)

About the estate:
RVF - La Revue du Vin de France / Guide des Meilleurs Vins de France
Wine rated (2026 guide) 92/100
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:
Les Quartiers 2022, which is more full-bodied, is also harder to pin down at this stage. Its impressive intensity and structure will need at least four to five years to mellow.
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.
