Bettane & Desseauve

"As is often the case, Couvent des Thorins shows more finesse than power: the whole is serious and pleasant." (Le Guide des Meilleurs Vins de France 2017 - RVF). A fine vintage based on a balance between maturity and acidity: very representative of the appellation!

Expert opinion

Bettane & Desseauve

Bettane & Desseauve

Rated (2017 guide) 14.5/20 (Good wine)

Domaine rated (2023 guide) 4*Stars (Top-quality producers, the glories of French winegrowing)

About the domain :

Jean-Jacques Parinet's ambitious and consistent renovation of the vineyard and winery is now delivering the expected results. Progress has been meteoric and production continues to dominate the appellation. He can rely on a talented team, made up of Édouard Parinet, their cellar master Brice Lafon and their communications manager Morgane Chambriard. A key player for the appellation and the region, and a formidable ambassador creating value and image in France and around the world.

Rated (2017 guide) 15/20 (Good wine)

Domaine rated (2023 guide) 1*Star (Stars in the making or quality winegrowers with a good level of production, you won't be disappointed when you taste the wines from these estates)

About the wine:

As is often the case, Couvent des Thorins is more about finesse than power: the whole is serious and pleasant.

About the domain :

Since its acquisition by the Parinet family in 2009, this vast estate has invested considerable human resources in rejuvenating the wings of Moulin-à-Vent, like Château des Jacques in its day. In a modern Gamay style, with long, well-managed ageing in wood, the numerous parcel-based cuvées express the complexity and diversity of the soils. 2016 saw the arrival of the estate's first white vines (4.5 hectares) in the Mâcon and Pouilly-Fuissé appellations, under the name Roc des Boutires.
