"A refined wine brimming with energy, a regular feature at France's finest restaurants"

“Dry but with a slight hint of sweetness, beautiful yellow fruit, and a touch of citrus on the finish: it’s a delight to drink now, but in a few years, it will gain in minerality. It’s one of the most well-rounded 2021 vintages from the Loire.” (The Bettane + Desseauve Guide 2024). Since the estate’s founding, this iconic cuvée has embodied the refined expression of a unique terroir.

Wine rated (2024 guide) 92/100

Rated estate (2027 guide): 3*Stars (High-quality production that serves as a benchmark in its sector)

About the wine:

Dry but with a slight hint of sweetness, beautiful yellow fruit, and a touch of citrus on the finish: it’s a delight to drink now, but in a few years, it will develop more minerality. It’s one of the most well-rounded 2021 vintages from the Loire.

About the estate:

Following in the footsteps of their parents, Christine and Eric, Laure-Anne and Clément Nicolas are forging their own path with confidence and character. A leading name in Sarthe wines, the estate maintains the highest standards at all times. Biodynamic cultivation across 18 hectares exemplifies exemplary discipline. Unique and distinctive, the wines fully justify their price point.

Wine rated (2024 guide) 92/100

Rated estate (2027 guide): 2*Stars (These exceptional estates, often boasting fabulous terroirs, are must-haves that, thanks to the consistency and excellence of their wines, belong in the cellars of discerning wine lovers)

About the wine:

This year, Les Rosiers has a striking golden color, giving the impression of an older wine. However, it offers beautiful density on the palate and a long, mineral—even salty—finish. Already very approachable, we hope it will display the same panache in a few years.

About the estate:

In the mid-1990s, Éric and Christine Nicolas were the first to rekindle the faded flame of the wines of the Sarthe. Their wines demonstrate the immense potential of these understated terroirs: elite biodynamic viticulture and natural yet meticulous winemaking. The Coteaux-du-Loir “Vieilles Vignes Éparses” perfectly illustrates the elegantly austere character of these wines, which develop an extraordinary saline quality after a few years. “Calligramme,” made from vines over 70 years old, ranges from dry to off-dry depending on the vintage—a masterpiece that every lover of great Loire whites must have in their cellar. The reds from Pineau d’Aunis rank among the most accomplished. Clément Nicolas, the son of Christine and Éric, took over the reins in 2021, alongside his wife Laure-Anne. Long live Bellivière!
