Gault&Millau's review 2026

A beautiful grenadine color introduces a wine with notes of strawberry, tobacco, pink berries and also a sensation of coffee chocolate ganache. On tasting, the texture is lighter than the nose might suggest, but there's still a nice tannic structure that holds the wine together. Notes of red fruit, pepper and licorice coat the whole for a finish that remains very refreshing. A few woody touches add length.

Discover the winery

La Villesenière
La Villesenière
The family-run estate, managed by Laurence and Cyrille Chenevotot, is located in the Marne Valley. All the wines produced from the 4.2 hectares of vineyards are now explicitly identified as vintages sourced exclusively from the Boursault terroir, vinified and aged for approximately ten months in barrels. This independent estate prioritizes the terroir, the vintage, and the winemaker’s craftsmanship above all else. In addition, single-varietal wines are also produced, with low dosages to respect the winemaking process. The estate has been certified organic since 2023.
