Bettane & Desseauve

(2018 vintage notes)

This carefully-crafted rosé reveals subtle aromas of citrus and red fruit. A silky, supple wine on the palate, with a hint of English candy, dominated by peach and apricot, discreet and delicate. It's the rosé for sunny days! In addition to fish, it goes wonderfully well with Corsican charcuterie and, of course, grilled meats...

Expert opinion

Bettane & Desseauve

Bettane & Desseauve

Rated 14/20 (Vintage 2018) (Good wine)

Domaine rated (2020 guide) 4*Stars (Very high quality producers, the glories of French winegrowing)

About the domain :

In this historic landmark of Ajaccio vineyards, whose unique collection of old local white grape varieties has raised awareness of the moral and cultural obligation to diversify grape varieties throughout Corsica, Jean-Charles Abbatucci practices irreproachable viticulture with contagious generosity. The recent wines have the suppleness, naturalness and smoothness expected of them, and have clearly improved in consistency thanks to the complicity between the owner and a remarkable consultant oenologist, Emmanuel Gagnepain. Cuvée Faustine shines with pure finesse, while the grand cuvées Collection, Ministre, Général and Diplomate offer the refined complexity of their pioneering grape varieties. New cuvées, monte-bianco, alte-rosso, valle-di-nero, are starting to be produced, but the estate has not yet sent them out for tasting. That will be next year.

Domaine rated (guide 2023) 3*Stars (They represent the excellence of the French vineyard. The best terroirs cultivated by the greatest winemakers. Tasting their wines is always a magical experience)

About the domain :

The history of this estate began in the 20th century with a visionary, Antoine Abbatucci, the founder of this wine nursery, a veritable conservatory of indigenous Corsican grape varieties. Jean-Charles Abbatucci, Antoine's son, has taken the estate to the next level (massal selections, demanding biodynamics, rootstocks adapted to soil and climate...). The wines are easy to digest and fine, thanks to the refusal of excessive interventionism, and the maturing process has been refined by the use of foudres and concrete eggs.
