Bettane & Desseauve

“Lovely fruitiness, pure and slender on the palate, dynamic and well-structured.” (The Bettane & Desseauve Guide to French Wines 2017) In 2014, these old Riesling vines (40 years old) produced a well-structured wine that beautifully showcases the variety’s character: fruity, mineral, and elegant, it will pair perfectly with your meal.

Review by Mr. MARC G. Published on November 8, 2020

For fans of very dry white wine (who might give this 5 stars)... personally, I prefer a bit more roundness and a more expressive nose...
