“A Saint-Nicolas de Bourgueil that’s pure elegance!”

“A seductive, balanced, and mineral-driven red with a touch of richness. On the nose, it offers notes of plums, blueberries, pits, and frosted leaves. It is medium-bodied with fine tannins. Velvety and succulent, it displays notes of crushed purple fruits and crushed stone in the concentrated, lively, and mineral-driven finish. Drink now or celller.” (James Suckling 2024)

Rated Estate (2026 Guide) 2*Stars (These exceptional estates, often boasting fabulous terroirs, are must-haves that, thanks to the consistency and excellence of their wines, deserve a place in the cellars of discerning wine lovers)

About the estate:

Benoît arrived at the family estate in Bourgueil in 2003 to continue the family venture started by his father, Yannick, in 1997. Two-thirds of the vineyard is located in Bourgueil, with the remainder in the neighboring appellation of Saint-Nicolas-de-Bourgueil. You can sense the winemakers’ perfectionism and their commitment to expressing the terroirs through Cabernet Francs that are silky smooth and refined, yet retain vibrant fruit. The estate has been certified organic since 2009, and the wines gain in purity each year thanks to increasingly precise winemaking techniques (truncated-cone wooden vats, barrels, and stoneware jars). The 2022 and 2023 vintages delight us with their frank, clean expression and finesse.

About the wine:

This tank sample of La Mine 2023 was tasted one week before bottling. Located at the foot of the famous Les Malgagnes vineyard, it is so inviting with its flavors of raspberry and cream. It is smooth and delicately textured, with tannins that gently caress the palate while melting like chocolate, allowing the drinker to immerse themselves in it right from the start. A delightful wine you’ll want to enjoy from day one.

About the wine:

An alluring, well-balanced, mineral-driven red with a touch of richness. On the nose, it offers notes of plums, blueberries, pits, and frosted leaves. It is medium-bodied with fine tannins. Velvety and succulent, it displays notes of crushed purple fruits and hints of crushed stone in the concentrated, lively, and mineral-driven finish. Ready to drink or worth cellaring.
