Bettane & Desseauve
"A very important reduction that needs to be aired, the material is fine, the tannins are silky and supple. For lovers of wines that work on reduction". (Le Guide des Vins Bettane & Desseauve 2020) Located just behind the family estate, the Clos du Chapitre parcel is a monopoly of more than a hectare grown under low yields. Here, Pinot Noir expresses itself in a very Burgundian style, producing a racy, elegant wine with good ageing potential.
