Bettane & Desseauve

Domaine rated (guide 2022) 4*Stars (Top-quality producers, the glories of French winegrowing)

About the domain :

Founded in 1750 by Simon Verry and acquired by the Bollinger group in the late 1990s, Beaune's oldest wine house owns 45 hectares of vineyards in the benchmark crus of both côtes. Negociant reds are essentially made from purchased grapes, vinified by the house to preserve the unity of style with the estate. Brilliantly led technically by Jean-Pierre Confuron (since 2001), this estate has become a model of viticulture, with the introduction of ploughing, the abandonment of soil amendments, and the adoption of organic viticulture. The wines of Chanson preserve a very high proportion of stalks in both white and red vinification. The watchword is balanced tension. The whites are bottled with a maximum of lees to guarantee a reducing aspect throughout the 14 to 20 months of barrel ageing (20% new wood). The reds, whose pinot maturity is pushed to the optimum, preserve a vibrant tannic and acidic structure and are adorned with fleshy fruit and underlying notes of sweet spices and licorice. Wines that deserve a few years of patience in both colors.

Domaine rated (guide 2022) 2*Stars (These great estates, often endowed with fabulous terroirs, are must-haves which, thanks to their consistency and the excellence of their production, must be included in the cellars of discerning wine lovers).

About the domain :

Founded in 1750 and owned by Bollinger since 1999, this classic Beaune house has now fully found its feet and its style. It competes with the best thanks to its precise, pure white and red wines. Vincent Avenel has taken over the reins of the house from Gilles de Courcel, who is responsible for its revitalization. A state-of-the-art cuverie and Jean-Pierre Confuron's pertinent advice, both in the vineyard and in winemaking, until June 2020, explain the clear expression of the domaine's wide range until the 2019 vintage, a vintage in which we perceive fine ageing on certain cuvées, a tone below previous vintages. We'll wait to taste the 2020s in bottle to judge whether this great house is moving in the right direction with its new team.
