Bettane & Desseauve

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

About the domain :

Pierre-Marie and Marie Luneau are one of the most dynamic couples in the French wine industry. Their expertise and knowledge of the 42-hectare vineyard are unrivalled in the region. They work the vines according to organic and biodynamic principles, and their cuvées are great gourmet wines whose evolution over time is a model of its kind. Our tastings always place this estate at the top.

RVF - La Revue du Vin de France / Guide des Meilleurs Vins de France

Rated (2016 guide) 14.5/20 (Vintage 2014) (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 domain :

Pierre and Monique Luneau-Papin have left their mark on their generation, chiseling out great Muscadet wines. In particular, they produced the magnificent Cuvée Excelsior, a benchmark among Nantes' long-keeping whites, and a pioneer for the cru communal de Goulaine. Their son, Pierre-Marie, and his wife, Marie, are continuing the story with exceptional energy, going even further in their quest for terroir identity. These are aptly reflected in all their wines, from Vera Cruz (quartz, micaschist and two-mica schist) to Gula-Ana (peridotite and serpentinite from the fabulous Butte de la Roche, one of the most bewitching places in Muscadet). The wines are aged mainly in underground concrete vats lined with glass tiles, sometimes backed up by amphorae for certain vats. These 40 hectares of vines have been organically farmed since 2019. An estate in top form, delivering contemporary Muscadets that are at once distinctive, precise and invigorating.
