Expert opinion

Bettane & Desseauve

Bettane & Desseauve

Wine rated 92/ 100

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

About the wine:

In the spirit of the vintage, but with the know-how of the estate to give it a fruity, savoury character. Well made, this is a bottle that will give pleasure.

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.

Wine rated (2024 guide) 91/100

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:

It's always with the first cuvée that we understand the level of a domaine, and we must recognize the quality of this very fine 2021, in a slender, fruity style. We appreciate the delicacy of the aromas and the precision of the ageing. This wine will evolve with grace.

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.
