Bettane & Desseauve
"Built on white (80%) and gray Grenache, aged in reused barrels, a round, fat and suave white with a mineral finish." (Le Guide Hachette des Vins 2019) ) This round, smooth white wine will go perfectly with white meats in sauce and Mediterranean dishes. A very fine gourmet white!

About the wine:
Built on Grenache blanc (80%) and gris, aged in reused barrels, a round, fat and smooth white with a mineral finish.
About the domain :
The Grier family, owners of a vineyard in South Africa renowned for its sparkling wines, set up this 25-hectare estate in the Fenouillèdes region in 2006. They have entrusted the reins to Raphël Graugnard, who brings all his experience to bear in making wines that symbolize the successful union of the Old and New Worlds.

Ultra aromatic and ultra fatty. Some around the table were initially impressed. But we quickly became disgusted and the bottle struggled to empty...
