Domaine de Montgilet - Coteaux de l'Aubance Les Trois Schistes 2022 (Liquoreux)
90/100
James Suckling
"This cuvée, with its perfect balance of sweetness and acidity, is destined to be an excellent wine for laying down.
"A dense, comforting wine with aromas of cooked peaches and lemons and acacia honey on the nose, which continue with a suave, medium-bodied development on the palate. Generous, it nevertheless retains a certain liveliness in its silky finish. Drink now. (James Suckling).

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.

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.
