Guide des meilleurs vins de France 2024: "One of the revelations of recent years in Touraine! The domaine was taken over by Jean-Baptiste Bonnigal and Stéphane Bodet in 2015, a young and talented tandem who reduced the surface area from 80 to 40 hectares (in organic conversion) in order to refocus their production on their best parcels in Amboise. A corner of Touraine where côt (malbec) and chenin come to the fore. (...) For the whites, particular care is taken with the wide range of dry chenins isolated in lieux-dits. Grape maturities are just right, and the meticulous ageing in wood is an undeniable signature of these wines of a variety and quality few equaled in this sector."
