The 2018 Quarts de Chaume boasts great aromatic intensity; it is lively and very complex, with notes of verbena and saffron. The attack on the palate is mineral and precise, resulting in a fresh and round overall structure. Enjoy it with foie gras or a fruit tart…

Rated 2*Stars (A solid, recommendable wine, though slightly more consistent and uniform than the previous one)

About the estate:

This 45-hectare vineyard—80% of which is planted with Chenin—produces a wide range of white wines. René handles winemaking, while his older brother Christophe tends the vineyards. They aren’t organic, to be sure, but the soil is worked “their own way.” In the cellar, the same meticulous care prevails, with a variety of tanks of all kinds (stainless steel, cement, cylindrical, underground, 30-hl wooden tanks by Stockinger…), suited to crafting nuanced and complex wines. The sweet wines are the estate’s greatest strength, as is the Savennières series (13 hectares), impeccably balanced.

About the estate:

This 46-hectare estate, formed by the merger of two family-run vineyards, has been managed by René Papin since 2010. The estate is particularly renowned for the quality of its white wines, both dry and sweet. A must-visit.
