The estate and the wine
The estate and the wine Awarded 2 stars by RVF, Les Poëte has quickly become one of the Loire’s most ambitious estates. Guillaume Sorbe’s dedication to crafting remarkable whites from Quincy and Reuilly is unmatched; few wines in the region reach this level of precision and complexity.

A former sommelier who honed his skills at top establishments, Sorbe returned to his family vineyards to pursue excellence on his own terms. With a small 6-hectare estate and a meticulous, almost garden-like approach to viticulture, everything here is about quality. Sorbe is truly redefining what Loire wines can be.
Wine Fresh and vibrant, the 2023 White Touraine Le S des Poëte bursts with passionfruit aromas—fragrant and expressive. The palate reveals a crisp, smooth Sauvignon Blanc, with a hint of zesty acidity and a touch of refined herbal notes, wrapped in a refreshing overall profile.
Vinification Traditional vinification, optimal harvest maturity, a wine that is 20% oak, the rest in vats.
