Expert opinion
Bettane & Desseauve
Wine rated (guide 2024) 90/100
Domaine rated (guide 2024) 2*Stars (A serious and recommendable production, but a little more regular and homogeneous than the previous one)
About the wine:
Fine bubbles, elegant nose of Williams pear and white flowers, pleasantly lively on the palate. The finish is easy to digest.
About the domain :
Françoise Antech-Gazeau is the masterful head of this successful trading house, which has made sparkling wines its specialty for six generations. Nearly a million bottles are produced each year. A wide range of very consistent, high-quality wines, with a clear focus on purity, minerality and balanced freshness. The mauzac-based cuvée M30 impressed us with its formidable aperitif capacity.
