Expert opinion
Bettane & Desseauve
Domaine rated (2015 guide) 1*Star (A serious, recommendable production, in line with what one has the right to expect from its appellation(s))
About the domain :
A perfectionist, Stéphane Donze has worked hard to achieve a level of production well above that of the region's usual winegrowers. After buying the estate, he and his wife Lucie spent fifteen years studying and observing the configuration of their plots as closely as possible. They have worked hard to achieve perfect ripeness and precision in their wines, always at the risk limit.
