Bettane & Desseauve

Its balance on the palate is exemplary: the harmony of floral flavors blended with refreshing acidity makes this a truly beautiful Pinot Gris for fine dining. Paired with a poultry ballotine with hazelnuts or with caper blossoms and a lime reduction, this wine will reveal its full potential. - Screw-cap bottle -

Wine rated (2019 guide) 14/20 (Good wine)

Rated estate (2024 guide): 4*Stars (Producers of the very highest quality, the pride of French viticulture)

About the estate:

Jacky Barthelmé puts it bluntly: “We’re very happy with 2021 because it was a winemaker’s vintage. Those who were out in the vineyards got the grapes. It didn’t happen on its own. ” And it’s clear that tasting the lineup proves him right: Pinot Noirs that are as successful as ever, Rieslings of great beauty, and even Pinot Gris wines that display a drier balance than in the past—which can only delight us.

Rated estate (2024 guide): 3*Stars (These represent the pinnacle of French winemaking. The finest terroirs cultivated by the greatest winemakers. Tasting their wine is always a magical experience.)

About the estate:

The estate, born from the union of the Mann and Barthelmé families—two distinguished lines of winemakers dating back to the 17th century—produces wines of the very highest caliber, emblematic of the finest that Alsace has to offer. Maurice, an inspired biodynamic winemaker and occasional dowser, has brought purity to the wines through meticulous work in the vineyard. Jacky and his son Antoine possess a highly refined sense of winemaking for both whites and reds. The wines’ balance, approachability, and depth make them models for all wine lovers. Their four reds rank among the very best of Alsace and are among the finest in France. This success has now made them rare wines.

Review and rating by Mr. THIBAUT M. Published on June 6, 2019

Quite disappointing given the estate's reputation; this wine might have benefited from being decanted and/or allowed to age a bit before opening.
