Expert opinion

Bettane & Desseauve

Bettane & Desseauve

Rated (2018 guide) 14/20 (Good wine)

Domaine rated (2022 guide) 1*Star (A serious, recommendable production, in line with what one has the right to expect from its appellation(s))

About the wine:

A fine wine, more elegant than powerful, with very expressive aromas of black fruits, violets and flint, harmonious tannins and lovely freshness.

About the domain :

For the past half-decade, this Entre-Deux-Mers cru has been seducing visitors with its generous wines, expressive fruitiness and toasty woodiness.

Rated (2018 guide) 15/20 (Good wine)

Domaine rated (2022 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 domain :

From his family's right-bank vineyard in Vérac, near Fronsac, Hervé Lhuillier has created a true brand of Bordeaux Supérieur, whose fundamentals are depth, authenticity and careful oakiness. New vines of Sauvignon, Malbec and Petit Verdot, planted on outcropping limestone (the quarries are open to visitors), will soon go into production. While the densimetric sorting machine has brought greater precision to 2018, we're still thirsty about the somewhat cartoonish extractions and ageing. Let's give the wines time to settle before considering removing the star.
