Bettane & Desseauve
Rated estate (2016 guide) 1*Star (A serious, recommendable production, in line with what one would expect from its appellation(s))
About the estate:
A key figure in Châteauneuf-du-Pape and Tavel, Alain Jaume runs a high-quality wine business with his family, as well as owning some beautiful vineyards in Châteauneuf-du-Pape and Côtes du Rhône. Their main source of pride is the Grand-Venu wine, a classic Châteauneuf. The Clos de Sixte, the family estate located in Tavel, offers a beautiful example of the cru, while in Châteauneuf-du-Pape, the cuvée from old vines is one of the finest wines in the appellation. The future of the estate is brilliantly assured by Alain Jaume's children.

About the estate:

Grenache Noir and Syrah are naturally the dominant grape varieties. The estate began its transition to organic farming in 2009.
