Bonnigal-Bodet - Touraine Amboise 100% Côt Les Seminées 2020
92/100
Robert Parker
"A work of art"
“Made from 25-year-old vines planted on clay-siliceous soils overlying an Aquitaine limestone subsoil, the 2020 Côt Les Séminées opens with a bright, delicate, and fresh bouquet of blueberries and blackberries, interwoven with subtle spicy notes of white pepper. Silky and elegant on the palate, it is a balanced and refreshing Malbec, with fine yet intense tannins that provide structure to the plump, juicy fruit. The Séminées is softer and purer in fruit than its counterpart, the Mont Luma, and it finishes with a vibrant, fresh, and refined aftertaste, displaying bite and tension. Very stimulating in its clear and fresh expression.” (Robert Parker).

Rated estate (2026 guide) 1*Star (Up-and-coming stars or quality winemakers producing wines of a high standard—you won’t be disappointed when you taste the wines from these estates)
About the estate:
One of the revelations of recent years in Touraine! When they took over the estate in 2015, Jean-Baptiste Bonnigal and Stéphane Bodet halved the production area to focus on their best plots in Amboise, where Côt (Malbec) and Chenin are showcased. You can sense a pursuit of finesse, luscious body, and floral notes in the expression of these vibrant reds. For the whites, special care is taken with the extensive range of dry Chenin wines, each sourced from specific lieux-dits. The grapes are harvested at just the right ripeness, and aging in oak is meticulous; the wines offer a variety and quality rarely matched in this region. These winemakers, who are deeply committed to raising the profile of the Amboise appellation, are definitely ones to watch closely.
