“The expression of a unique terroir!”
“This wine, traditionally aged on its lees for two years in underground concrete tanks and then aged in oak for an additional two years, delivers a Goulaine of complete richness. The nose opens with delicate vegetal notes and hints of broom, complemented by a touch of toast. On the palate, it unfolds with a full-bodied, rich, and supple texture, accented by refreshing citrus notes. Highly harmonious, both refined and powerful, it pairs well with a fish terrine or cheeses such as Beaufort or Comté.” (Le Guide Hachette 2026).

About the wine:
This wine, traditionally aged on its lees for two years in underground concrete tanks and then aged in oak for an additional two years, delivers a Goulaine of complete fullness. The nose opens with delicate herbal and broom notes, complemented by a hint of toast. On the palate, it reveals a full-bodied, rich, and supple texture, framed by beautifully fresh citrus notes. Highly harmonious, both refined and powerful, it pairs well with a fish terrine or a cheese such as Beaufort or Comté.
About the estate:
The Delaunay family has been growing grapes for several generations on the Loroux-Bottereau estate, and Florent took over this 30-hectare estate in 2020. The transition to organic farming is underway.

Estate rated "Recommended" (Wine producer recommended by Wine Enthusiast)
About the wine:
This is a luxurious wine. Golden in color, it offers a fragrant bouquet of apple pie, orange marmalade, and spiced pear compote, with hints of mandarin zest. The velvety palate reveals rich fruity aromas and a depth that quickly makes you want a second sip. Pair this cuvée with your evening grilled and roasted dishes.
