Bettane & Desseauve

"Beautiful mineral tension on the palate, mouthwatering length, very dry finish, whereas Buehl offered a more oily texture. " (Le Guide Bettane & Desseauve des Vins de France 2014) Citrus and mirabelle plum dominate the nose of this single vineyard wine. The palate is lively, with a hint of salty bitterness and beautiful minerality.

Bettane & Desseauve

Wine rated (2015 guide) 15,5/20 (Very good wine)

Winery rated 1*Star (A serious, recommendable production, consistent with what one would expect from its appellation(s))

About wine:

Beautiful mineral tension on the palate, mouthwatering length, very dry finish, whereas Buehl offered a more oily texture.

About the estate:

Biodynamics always takes a few years to produce results, both in terms of rooting and soil life, and Michel Chapoutier knows this well, having purchased this estate in 2009 with a few friends who are lovers of fine wines. 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 reveal the subtle nuances of their soil.
