The ultimate wine for sharing, this generous cuvée with its lovely juice truly lives up to its name. A full expression of abundant fruit, combined with the complementary character of three grape varieties typical of Touraine-Amboise, gives this wine a beautiful body, offering a delightful and indulgent experience. In three words: A true treat!

Rated estate (2026 guide): 2 stars (A solid, recommendable wine, though slightly more consistent and uniform than the previous vintage)

About the estate:

As president of the Montlouis appellation, Damien Delecheneau produces, on his fifteen or so hectares cultivated using biodynamic methods, wines of such refined craftsmanship that they serve as exemplary models for the Touraine, Touraine–Amboise, and Montlouis appellations. The wines are remarkably precise and strikingly natural; priced between 15 and 30 euros, they are excellent value. The reds express themselves with floral juiciness. The old Côt vines soften the grape variety’s rustic character to achieve perfect balance. The whites, with their very subtle texture, are harvested at perfect ripeness and always well-structured. These are full-bodied, pure wines with a mineral finish that hits just the right note. A charming spot not to be missed. This year’s favorites include the old-vine Côt from Amboise and the new-style Montlouis...

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:

From their 15-hectare vineyard spread across Montlouis-sur-Loire, Touraine, and Touraine-Amboise, Coralie and Damien Delecheneau have established themselves as leaders in the industry. With the utmost respect for nature and their terroirs, the couple tends to their old vines using biodynamic methods (certified in 2014). Several Côt vines are even over a century old and yield a cuvée of remarkable depth and subtlety. In the cellar, the two winemakers skillfully and sensitively guide the healthy grapes harvested at perfect ripeness. From vinification to aging in concrete tanks and old barrels, everything is absolutely precise and measured, and these great, nuanced wines never veer into exuberance. Upon opening each bottle, the Chenin whites reveal themselves with rare purity and delicacy; the reds captivate with their subtlety and floral brilliance.

Review by Mr. REMI C. Published on May 31, 2020

This is my first time trying this winery and this cuvée. It’s a young wine but one with potential. After letting it breathe for an hour, the fruit comes through strongly, with subtle tannins and a lively acidity that gives it a nice kick. I’m going to let my second bottle age for a year in the cellar.

Review by Mr. JEAN M. Posted on May 17, 2020

Based on your review of the 2018 vintage, I expected the 2019 to be a wine that was already enjoyable and showed promise. But this one is disappointing—tart, harsh, and clearly wasn’t tasted by your panel—which calls into question the trust we have a right to expect from your recommendations... Moreover, the value for money is unacceptable.

Review by Mr. JEAN NOEL G. Published on May 8, 2020

The color is purplish, reminiscent of a cherry wine. The subtle nose features red fruits such as cherry, blackberry, and blackcurrant. The palate immediately reveals a rich, concentrated, and tight texture; a fruit-forward wine with deep maceration, built on fine tannins that are firm yet not harsh. The finish is very fresh, even lively. This wine ideally requires a year of aging. It is crisp, mouth-watering, well-structured, and well-extracted.
