14/20 Bettane & Desseauve

"This new cuvée created by François Thienpont plays the Merlot card with a round, floral, fruity and very harmonious wine. Easy to drink but complete." (Le Guide Bettane & Desseauve des Vins 2015) In line with the range, this cuvée is made mainly with Merlot. A fruity, easy-drinking style in keeping with François Thienpont's desire to produce wines that are affordable both in terms of taste and money.

"This wine offers an unctuous sensation, with blueberry and blackberry notes, a licorice bite, all slipping discreetly to a medium-bodied finish. A seductive wine." (Wine Spectator 2013 - James Molesworth / second label La Violette du Manoir) A touch of Cabernet Franc to give character to this near-100% Merlot. This red has lovely black fruit and roundness. Enjoy it now.
