Bettane & Desseauve

Rated estate (2015 guide) 2 stars (A serious and recommendable production, but a little more consistent and uniform than the previous one)

About the estate:

The Fuchs family has been winegrowing in Ribeauvillé for four generations now, since Paul joined his parents Cathy and Henry in 2006. The estate has been certified organic since 2011, and the wines already express the purity and elegance of Ribeauvillé's saline terroirs. The dry wines taste dry, and the late harvests avoid the trap of concentration in favor of balance, finesse, and harmony.
