Bettane & Desseauve
"Beautiful mineral tension on the palate, salivating length, very dry finish, where Buehl offered a more oily texture." (Le Guide Bettane & Desseauve des Vins de France 2014) Citrus and mirabelle plum dominate the nose of this plot-based cuvée. The palate is lively, with saline bitterness and a beautiful minerality.

Expert opinion
Bettane & Desseauve
Rated (2015 guide) 15.5/20 (Very good wine)
Domaine rated 1*Star (A serious, recommendable production, in line with what one has the right to expect from its appellation(s))
About the wine:
Beautiful mineral tension on the palate, salivating length, very dry finish, where buehl offered a more oily texture.
About the domain :
Biodynamic viticulture always takes a few years to take effect, both in terms of rooting and soil life, and Michel Chapoutier is well aware of this, having bought this estate in 2009 with a few wine-loving friends. Located in northern Alsace, on a vein of blue schist, the estate is gradually making its mark. The Riesling parcels (Burg, Buehl and Fels) are beginning to bring out the subtle nuances of the soil.
