Expert opinion
Bettane & Desseauve
Wine rated (2019 guide) 14.5/20 (Good wine)
Domaine rated (2020 guide) 2*Stars (A serious and recommendable production, but a little more regular and homogeneous than the previous one)
About the domain :
Situated on the Séoules hill in the hills above Nice at an altitude of almost 300 meters, the terraced vineyards benefit from the sea spray that tempers the summer heat. Having vinified 47 vintages and established the reputation of the Bellet appellation, Ghislain de Charnacé sold his 12-hectare vineyard in 2014 to property management company La Française REM (which also owns other vineyards). Considerable resources were deployed to restructure the vineyard, under the leadership, since summer 2018, of Jean de Laître, a talented master winemaker also present in the Bordeaux region. An ultra-functional winery at the foot of the old chapel now enables us to vinify as closely as possible to the terroir. A new style is emerging, with a reorganization of the range into three levels (entry-level, vins de terroirs and cuvées d'exception agnès), promising a bright future for this historic estate. The latest vintages demonstrate this welcome change of direction.

An exceptional and original wine, unlike anything you've ever tasted. Very pleasant, with a good nose and an inimitable taste due to a very special grape variety.

Note and review by Mme EVELINE G. Published on 12/12/2018
too much alcohol, too round, not enough freshness or fruit. Disappointing, but suitable for those who put an ice cube in.

Note and review by M. DIDIER P. Published on 20/07/2018
A surprising wine. Fruity, peppery nose. Disconcerting bitterness, tight, gripping grapefruit palate. Good length. Perfect in summer with cold starters, hot or cold fish. White meat yes, red meat no. Out of the ordinary, I'll be back for more.
