Bettane & Desseauve
The color is lively and sustained, and the nose is characterized by great elegance. Notes of cherry, strawberry and undergrowth. On the palate, the tannins are present but ripe. A very fleshy wine with great aromatic persistence. What elegance!

Expert opinion
Bettane & Desseauve
Rated 15.5/20 (Vintage 2015) (Very good wine)
Domaine rated (guide 2021) 2*Stars (A serious and recommendable production, but a little more regular and homogeneous than the previous one)
About the domain :
This small estate comprises 8 hectares of vines, spread between Nuits-Saint-Georges and Beaune. Founded in 2009 by Olivier Decelle and Pierre-Jean Villa, it has been managed from the outset by Jean Lupatelli, a talented man who oversees vineyard management and vinification with great insight. The estate rounds out its range with a few additional purchases on the equivalent of two hectares, in historic appellations followed since the creation of the brand, and relying on vines harvested by in-house teams. The 2018 reds are tender, charming, well-fruited and floral, clearly respecting their origins.

About the domain :
Founded in 2009 by two non-Burgundy associates - Pierre-Jean Villa (Northern Rhône Valley) and Olivier Decelle (Mas Amiel in Roussillon, Jean Faure, Haut-Ballet, Haut-Maurac in Bordeaux) backed up by their oenologist Jean Lupatelli - this Nuitonne house (négoce and domaine) has now carved out a solid place for itself in Burgundy.

Rated 15.5/20 (Vintage 2015) (Good wine)
Domaine rated (guide 2022) 1*Star (Stars in the making or quality winemakers with good production levels, you won't be disappointed when you taste the wines from these estates)
About the domain :
Founded in 2009 by two great wine gentlemen, Olivier Decelle (Mas Amiel in Roussillon and Jean Faure in Saint-Émilion), and Pierre-Jean Villa, a winemaker in the northern Rhône Valley, this estate stopped buying grapes in 2017. Previously named Decelle-Villa, it became Decelle et Fils in 2020. Based in Nuits-Saint-Georges, it relies on estate-owned vines on the Côte de Beaune and Côte de Nuits, grown organically. Fine technician Jean Lupatelli has crafted excellent wines here, with 20-50% whole harvest in the reds, but he has just left the domaine in spring 2021.
