96/100
Bettane & Desseauve
"A first growth wine for aging, perfect for accompanying fine game dishes."
A cuvée that pays tribute to the history of the estate! It comes from the oldest vines planted in 1922, covering an area of 8 ouvrées (the unit of measurement used for vineyards in Burgundy). Light and slender, the palate reveals fresh red berries such as redcurrants.

Rated estate (2021 guide) 4 stars (Producers of very high quality, the pride of French vineyards)
About the estate:
Run by the Devillard family, who also own Château de Chamirey in Mercurey, the vineyard is located on remarkable terroirs in the southern Côte de Nuits, and its production is vinified in the spirit of modern wines, seeking high grape maturity and deep, voluptuous textures. The results have been convincing for several years now, starting with the communal appellations, with very fine juices where we used to know them as rather solid. All the fullness possible in 2018 has been captured here, and these will be wines for aging, even very long aging for the Nuits and Echezeaux. Also a delightful red Burgundy.
