Rated estate (2020 guide) 1*Star (A serious, recommendable production that lives up to what one would expect from its appellation(s))

About the estate:

The arrival of the talented Jean-Philippe Louis as technical director has breathed new life into this “sleeping beauty” of the Saumur region, where the soil is clay-limestone and the sun shines generously. The 2018 vintages herald the estate’s resurgence, with a red cuvée from old vines offering rich, full-bodied fruit. The Clos-des-Oratoriens white, however, needs more time to develop. Stay tuned!
