88 points Rebecca Gibb, MW (Vinous): "The 2021 Les Vingt Lieux Dits is sourced from 20 different parcels on the clay mid-slopes of Bourgueil. It is a young, juicy, red-fruited style. It's light in body but has a bit of flesh on the mid-palate holding that line of acidity. This is perfect for early drinking, akin to a good Beaujolais. Drink: 2024-2026. (Jan 2024)"
Importer notes: "Pierre Gauthier has come up with an absolutely splendid wine. Richness of fruit, dark color, good earth notes, minerality and not a hint of underripe or overripe notes make this, his base cuvée, able to stand up to some of the grandest wines of the region. The secret here is old vines, organic farming and continually plowing the soil. Here it is, judge for yourself. Drink it now with hearty winter fare or cellar it for 3-5 years. You will be amazed at the complexity that develops."
