Expert opinion
Bettane & Desseauve
Rated 14/20 (Vintage 2015) (Good wine)
Domaine noté (guide 2020) Sélectionné (An estate or house that has won us over with one or more wines from its production, without us being able to give a general opinion on the style of the entire range)
About the domain :
Éric and Bérengère Thill farm their 5 hectares organically to produce a range of single-varietal wines: true to his Alsatian origins, Éric offers a varietal interpretation of Jura terroirs, particularly those in the south. The result lacks consistency, with the wines claiming to be natural sometimes displaying hints of oxidation.
