After La Fleur de Boüard en Lalande by Pomerol, Hubert de Boüard and his daughter Coralie embarked on a new project in Montagne-Saint-Émilion, called Clos de Boüard. Their first vintage 2016 is already a success, gourmet, fleshy, and devilishly seductive (85% Merlot).
Rated 90/100 by Jean-Marc Quarin (quarin.com) "The palate is remarkable for its full, fleshy body, its slow development in the middle palate that glides with great brilliance through the taste, its sappy, unangled finish. Delicious."
Rated 92/100 by Bettane + Desseauve (2019 Guide) "Better a very good terroir on Montagne than a sandy Saint-Emilion", these are the words with which Coralie de Boüard welcomes you to this Musset terroir that looks out over Fombrauge and Troplong, the most famous neighbouring crus. From the first vintage [2016], the wine opens up beautiful prospects with a velvety, deep tannin that stretches out brilliantly. The profile of the vintage respects the year with a zest of aniseed on the finish that brings everything back to life. In the concert of satellites, this Clos should be counted on from now on."

A small estate (12 ha), carefully tended and vinified with constant regularity, Deyrem Valentin is one of the most typical Margaux crus. Distinguished by the Revue du Vin de France among the hidden nuggets of the Médoc, "its Margaux wines draw a delicious balance".
Promoted to "Cru Bourgeois Supérieur" in 2020.
Noté 90/100 par Antonio Galloni (vinous.com) « Deyrem Valentin 2017 s'est bien développé au cours de l'élevage. Il reste un peu léger en corps, mais tous les composants sont très joliment équilibrés. Les fleurs écrasées, les cerises rouges sucrées, la menthe, le tabac doux et le cèdre sont autant de nuances qui s'ajoutent à l'ensemble. Il y a beaucoup de choses à aimer dans ce Margaux accessible et de demi-corps. » (Mars. 2020)

Grand-Puy-Lacoste is the finest of Pauillac's 5th classified growths, held with competence and care by Mr. François-Xavier Borie and his children. The latest vintages show even greater aromatic precision and tannin nobility.
Rated 96/100 by Antonio Galloni (vinous.com) " The 2020 Grand-Puy-Lacoste is just as captivating in bottle as it is in barrel. Deeply rich and explosive, Grand-Puy-Lacoste 2020 has extraordinary energy and nuance from the start. Bright acidity pierces a core of ripe red plum, blood orange, cedar, and pipe tobacco. The 2020 is a true marvel." (February 2023)
Rated 96/100 by Neal Martin (vinous.com) " The 2020 Grand-Puy-Lacoste has a very sophisticated and complex bouquet of black fruits, pencil shavings and light ocean scents, beautifully defined and concentrated. The palate has real intensity and concentration, with precision concealing a very intense Grand-Puy-Lacoste not unlike the 2016, with a lingering graphite-infused finish that is pure finesse. Magnificent." (February 2023)

It is François Chidaine who, since 1989, has sounded the awakening of Touraine wines and given the white Chenin its letters of nobility. Biodynamic since 1999, his wines show a crystalline purity and a vibrancy that are a reference... with prices that are just as exemplary.
Rated three stars in the Revue du Vin de France guide.« Félicitons François Chidaine pour son savoir-faire sur toutes les cuvées issues de ses 37 hectares de vignoble. Ce vigneron consciencieux est devenu l’un des as du chenin grâce à des efforts culturaux biodynamiques. »
Bettane + Desseauve – Guide 2022
« Depuis ses débuts en 1989, François Chidaine est devenu un acteur majeur des blancs de Loire, un styliste hors pair désormais vénéré par de nombreux autres vignerons. Il fait partie de ceux qui ont réveillé Montlouis, son fief d'origine. Nous ne tarissons pas d'éloges sur le niveau atteint par les vins de ce vigneron d'exception. Un domaine incontournable pour tout amoureux des grandes expressions ligériennes du chenin. »
