Bettane & Desseauve
Rated estate (2020 guide) 1*Star (A serious, recommendable production, in line with what one would expect from its appellation(s))
About the estate:
The arrival of the talented Jean-Philippe Louis as technical director has breathed new life into this sleeping beauty in the Saumur region, where the soil is clay-limestone and the sun shines generously. The 2018 vintage heralds the estate's resurrection, with a red cuvée from old vines offering rich fruitiness. The Clos-des-Oratoriens white wine requires more time to develop. Watch this space!
