"Off the beaten path, this striking wine is a real steal at such a low price!"

“True to form, the Vincent family has produced a beautiful Chardonnay with an intense nose of exotic fruits, citrus, yellow fruits, and white flowers. With its fruitiness, suppleness, freshness, and length, the palate is just as captivating. An expressive and very appealing white wine.” (Le Guide Hachette 2025).

About the wine:

True to form, the Vincent family has produced a beautiful Chardonnay with an intense nose of exotic fruits, citrus, yellow fruits, and white flowers. With its fruitiness, suppleness, freshness, and length, the palate is just as captivating. An expressive and very appealing white wine.

About the estate:

Run by the younger generation—Stéphane, Julien, and Vincent Denis, who arrived in 2003, 2006, and 2009 respectively—this is a family business dating back to 1920; starting with 5 hectares, it now encompasses 90 hectares. A flagship estate in the Haut-Layon, renowned particularly for its red wines, but also very adept at producing white and rosé. A (very) safe bet.
