Expert opinion

Bettane & Desseauve

Bettane & Desseauve

Domaine rated (2022 guide) 4*Stars (Top-quality producers, the glories of French winegrowing)

About the domain :

Founded in 1797, this family-run business has strong links with the Côte de Beaune, where it owns most of its vineyards, culminating in a sumptuous site on the famous Corton hillside. Louis-Fabrice, the eleventh generation of Latour, presides over the family board and has every confidence in his excellent winemakers. The reds have had their fermentation times extended, giving them more flesh and body, while the whites are less reduced and more harmoniously oaked than in the past, with a constant quest for balance that sometimes makes them undervalued in their youth, but they age magnificently. 2017 is in line with the success of 2010 and 2015, in both colors, but we'll trust the cuvées from the estate's vines more than certain purchases, especially the overly diluted whites.
