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 :

On the clay-limestone plateau of Saint-Émilion, in Saint-Christophe-des-Bardes, La Bienfaisance is a cru that was relaunched in the early 1990s. While the wine that bears the château's name is supple and easy to drink, the owners have created a more ambitious cuvée, sanctus.
