Bettane & Desseauve

"Velvety, floral depth, great tannic elegance, depth and intensity, a great Côte-rôtie." (Le Guide des Vins Bettane & Desseauve 2018) A remarkable wine to be forgotten for a few years before appreciating its full splendor!

Expert opinion

Bettane & Desseauve

Wine rated (2018 guide) 16.5/20 (Reference wine)

Domain rated (2022 guide) 3*Stars (High-quality production, a benchmark in its sector)

About the wine:

Velvety, floral depth, great tannic elegance, depth and intensity, a great Côte-Rôtie.

About the domain :

François Dauvergne and Jean-François Ranvier are part of a new generation of young Rhône Valley négociants. Deeply involved in the production of their wines, they work with their winemaker friends throughout the year, preserving the expressions of their terroirs. The style is structured without excess, with perfect aromatic definition. The duo continues to evolve, and the range extends from Hermitage in the north to Luberon in the south, via Côte-Rôtie, Châteauneuf-du-Pape and Costières-de-Nîmes, with now even partnerships as far afield as Roussillon! And recently, the adventure has been extended to the Bordeaux region.

About the domain :

Founded in 2004 by François Dauvergne and Jean-François Ranvier, wine professionals who decided to create their own cuvées after working for others, this trading house has asserted itself year after year through quality wines made from parcel selections. In 2013, the two partners took over Dom. des Muretins (tavel and lirac) and in 2014 developed a range of Bordeaux wines in collaboration with Patrice Hateau.

Robert Parker - Wine Advocate

Rated (2016 guide) 92-94/100 (Wonderful wine)

Domain rated Recommended (Wine producer recommended by Robert Parker - The Wine Advocate)

About the wine:

As for the reds, the 2015 Côte Rôtie Face Sud, 100% Syrah aged entirely in barrel, stands out. It's easily the most concentrated and longest, with very good aromas and flavors of liquid blackberry, blueberry, crushed stone, graphite and violet. The quality of its tannins is excellent and it's a remarkable wine.

Wine Spectator

Rated 95/100 (Outstanding wine)

About the wine:

Elegant dark red color. Aromas of fig, anise, plum and candied black cherry, underlined by notes of chocolate and coffee.
