2*Coup de Coeur
Hachette
15,5/20
Bettane & Desseauve
“This wine immediately captivates with its intense nose, which combines exotic fruits (pineapple, mango, lychee) with apricot and grapefruit. These aromas unfold with persistence on a smooth, rich, powerful, and full-bodied palate, becoming fresher and more mineral on the finish. A Sèvre-et-Maine with character, which will age beautifully.” (Le Guide Hachette des Vins 2018)

Rated estate (2018 guide): 1*Star (A well-crafted, recommendable wine that lives up to what one would expect from its appellation(s))
About the wine:
Floral notes with a hint of citrus and a harmonious finish.
About the estate:
The Guilbaud brothers own extensive gneiss-based vineyards in Mouzillon and Gorges, which are perfectly expressed through their various wines. We particularly appreciate the old vines at Clos-de-Beauregard and the Château-de-la-Pingossière wine.

3.1 Lively, crisp, and fruity. A wine to share with friends, perfect with a slice of bread topped with shrimp!

2016, tasted in 2018: In my opinion, it's well below the quality of the Pépière for the same price...

Not bad, but it doesn't live up to the high expectations set by its presentation and sales pitch, which led us to expect a more pleasant surprise.
