Wine rated (2027 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:

Both in Saint Nicolas de Bourgueil (La Source) and in Bourgueil (Cote 50), you’ll find vibrant, incredibly juicy, and delicious Cabernet Francs. What a treat! And what a 2025 vintage!

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 and comment by Mr. GILLES D. Published on April 15, 2026

With all due respect to Y. Amirault, I must admit that I do not recognize the iconic Côte 50 in its 2024 vintage. In his defense, it is true that in that year, the lack of sunshine in the Loire Valley and the poor ripeness of the fruit did not help. As a result, the wine has lost some of its splendor. The previously juicy and rich profile, with its refined tannins, has given way to a rather flat, smooth, and very light style, marked by its straightforwardness and acidity. Still, its easy-drinking nature makes it a recommended choice for a cocktail dinner with a mixed charcuterie board or a picnic by the water.
