Expert opinion

Bettane & Desseauve

Bettane & Desseauve

Domaine rated (guide 2025) 4*Stars (Top-quality producers, the glories of French winegrowing)

About the domain :

For Anne-Charlotte Genet, the quest for perfectly harmonious, uncluttered tannins is the guarantee of wines capable of being good young and good old. The result is seductive wines, embodying charm, complexity, sensuality and great refinement. With a rare intelligence in her understanding of vines and wine, this is Chinon at its very best.

Wine rated (2017 guide) 16/20 (Very good wine)

Domaine rated (guide 2025) 2*Stars (These great estates, often endowed with fabulous terroirs, are must-haves which, thanks to their consistency and the excellence of their production, must be included in the cellars of discerning wine lovers).

About the wine:

La Cure has no rough edges, but is highly fresh and salivating, accomplished and precocious.

About the domain :

Founded in 1957 by Charles Joguet in Sazilly, on the left bank of the Vienne, this estate has returned to the top of the Chinon appellation, a consecration for the team in charge of vinification and the vines, chosen by owner Jacques Genet. They work to a high level of excellence, given the size of the estate. Above all, the winemakers have revived a vibrant spirit of freshness in the great Cabernets, which have the unique feature of being born facing north-east. Few estates in the Loire boast such unmissable grands cuvées: Clos de la Dioterie (2 hectares of octogenarian vines on clay-limestone soils, northeast exposure, in Sazilly), Clos du Chêne Vert (2 hectares in the town of Chinon, southwest, steep slope, clay-limestone and flint clay), Les Varennes du Grand Clos (4.5 hectares in Sazilly) aged eighteen months in barrel, then ten months in bottle before release. As for the entry-level cuvées, they manage to make cabernet franc consensual and fine, without losing the origin of the place. That's great quality! These modern Cabernet Francs, both fine and deep, manage to achieve the tour de force of retaining their digestible character, like the 2019, 2020 and now 2021, among the most ambitious in the Loire!
