Domaine de Montgilet - Coteaux de l'Aubance Les Trois Schistes 2018 (Liquoreux 50 cl)
3*Coup de Coeur
Hachette
"Pure Chenin nectar
"This liqueur wine immediately seduces with its intense, brilliant straw-yellow color. The nose is complex and concentrated, with intense aromas of candied fruit, raisins, dried apricots, quince and caramelized apple. The palate is velvety smooth, with a perfect marriage of richness, opulence and acidity, enhanced by a very pleasant bitterness with accents of candied orange zest. The long, fresh, intense finish is convincing". (Le Guide Hachette des Vins 2021)

Bettane & Desseauve
Domaine rated 1*Star (A serious, recommendable production, in line with what one has the right to expect from its appellation(s))
About the domain :
Victor and Vincent Lebreton are faithful interpreters of Coteaux-de-l'Aubance. The brothers took over the family estate in 1986 and now cultivate 60 hectares of vines on different plots and types of schist. The result is parcel-based cuvées with subtle tones, reflecting the resonance of blue schists (le-tertereaux), greys (clos-des-huttières) or purples (le-clos-prieur). A friendly address, with low prices. The range is at its best on the Aubance, as is only logical. The reds are simple and tasty, for immediate pleasure.

About the domain :
This estate on the outskirts of Angers is a benchmark in the region, particularly in terms of "Angevin sweets", with superb coteaux-de-l'aubance on the menu. Vincent Lebreton, who has been at the helm since 1995, runs the estate created by his grandfather, Victor, and developed by his father, also Victor, and manages 75 hectares of slate schist terroir in a highly sustainable manner. The sixth generation now supports him.
