The estate and the wine
The estate and the wine Awarded 2 stars by the RVF Guide, Les Poëte boasts a bold rise and its wines rank among the most ambitious of the Loire. Guillaume Sorbe's determination to produce exceptional whites in Quincy and Reuilly is now undeniable. No other cuvée in the region matches this level of precision and richness!

A sommelier with experience at the finest restaurants, who returned to his family lands to craft outstanding cuvées, Guillaume Sorbe has truly become the new virtuoso of the Loire. With a limited area, massal selections, and garden viticulture, everything here is precise, meticulous, and focused solely on quality.
Wine The 2022 white Touraine S des Poëte is a Sauvignon Blanc that's both ripe and fresh, characterized by scents of wisteria and citrus, with an intense aromatic expression. The palate is sharp, very refined, tense, elegant, and tangy, with the wine gliding over sparkling fruit. Without woody artifices, it's an airy and digestible white, tactile, with fine and incisive juice. Ideal with seafood or shellfish. Rated 92+/100 by the Committee.
Vinification Mechanical harvest, blend of two terroirs: caillottes and silex, vinified and aged in stainless steel vats for 15 months.
