This rich and taut Grand Beaupré vintage displays freshness and beautiful aromatic liveliness. The palate develops a lovely precision of structure and mineral acidity: this is a bottle with great personality and finesse, which will pair beautifully with fish and seafood, for example...

Food and wine pairings
It can be enjoyed as an aperitif, with fish and seafood, and is the perfect accompaniment to carpaccio. It also pairs well with fresh goat's cheese.

Wine rated (2016 guide) 16/20 (Very good wine)
Rated estate (2024 guide) 2 stars (A serious and recommendable production, but a little more consistent and uniform than the previous one)
About wine:
With measured tension, against a backdrop of candied citrus and iodine, this wine has the percussion of the great terroirs of Savennières.
About the estate:
This 45-hectare vineyard, 80% of which is planted with Chenin, produces all styles of white wine. René makes the wine, while his older brother Christophe works in the vineyards. They don't use organic methods, but the soil is worked "their way." The same care prevails in the cellar, with a variety of vats of all kinds (stainless steel, cement, cylindrical, underground, 30 hl wooden vats by Stockinger, etc.), suitable for crafting nuanced and complex wines. Sweet wines are the estate's great strength, as is the Savennières series (13 hectares), which is impeccably balanced. The small rosé and red cuvées are a notch below, and the whites tasted this year are too inconsistent to retain the third BD rating.
Guide Hachette des vins
Rated estate Award-winning wines (This producer's wines are regularly recognized by the guide)
About the estate:
This 46-hectare estate, created from the merger of two family farms, has been run by René Papin since 2010. It is particularly renowned for the quality of its white wines, both dry and sweet. Not to be missed.
