Bettane & Desseauve
"Exotic notes on the nose, balance and harmony on the palate" (Guide Bettane & Desseauve 2019). This must-have combines flowers and white fruits with mineral touches and a light spicy woodiness. Full-bodied, nervous and saline, the palate develops notes of peach, hazelnut and oyster shell, typical of Chablis. The minerality melts into roundness, and the finish is long and fresh.

Rated wine (2018 guide) Gold Prix Plaisir (Selected)
Domaine rated (2019 guide) 2*Stars (A serious and recommendable production, but a little more regular and homogeneous than the previous one)
About the wine:
Exotic notes on the nose, balance and harmony on the palate.
About the domain :
This estate's mont-de-milieu vielles-vignes is perhaps the best bargain in the entire Chablis region!
Guide Hachette des vins
Domaine noté (guide 2019) Awarded wines (Wines from this producer are regularly awarded by the guide)
About the domain :
The first in the line, Julien Philippon, who came from Morvan, settled in 1868 as a lumberjack and gradually built up the family estate. In 1988, his heir André bought Château de Fleys, a former hunting lodge. A fine showcase that he passed on to his children Béatrice, Benoît and Olivier, with a 25-hectare vineyard to the east of Chablis, on the right bank of the Serein.
