Expert opinion
Bettane & Desseauve
Wine rated (2019 guide) 14.5/20 (Good wine)
Domain rated (2020 guide) 2*Stars (A serious and recommendable production, but a little more regular and homogeneous than the previous one)
About the domain :
Founded in 1902 by Hubert Dousseau, the estate is now run by two sisters with very complementary characters: Corinne, in charge of the vines and the winery, and Brigitte, in charge of administration (and ducks, for which she makes excellent preparations). As the estate has grown over the years, and now covers 23 hectares, the winery has followed suit, consisting today of a series of rooms, but equipped with modern facilities. The proof: in 2019, they should be awarded the HVE3 label.
