Bettane & Desseauve

The Javernières cuvée comes from the same Côte du Py climat, but from the foothills to the south of the hill. A Morgon with aromas of blood orange and peach, leaning towards a floral register. The palate is rich and round, with fine tannins and an impression of elegance. The finish is long, evoking subtle spices. A success!

Wine rated (2015 guide) 16/20 (Very good wine)

Rated estate (2023 guide) 4 stars (Producers of very high quality, those who are the pride of French vineyards)

About wine:

Full of flavor, a blend of peppery spices and meat juices, silky and elegant, it almost tingles!

About the estate:

The iconic Beaujolais region, renowned for both its history and reputation, shines brightly in Morgon and Beaujolais. The vineyard covers 13 hectares, five of which are located on the Côte de Py. At the helm of the estate, Claude-Emmanuelle and her brother Louis-Benoît, renowned for their rigor and attention to detail, are the worthy successors to a tradition of excellence. The latest vintages, combining finesse and richness, are always elegant.

Wine rated (2015 guide) 16/20 (Very good wine)

Rated estate (2023 guide) 3 stars (These represent the excellence of French vineyards. The best terroirs cultivated by the greatest winemakers. Tasting their wine is always a magical moment.)

About wine:

Superbly balanced, carried by a freshness, silky tannins, and a purity of fruit worthy of a very fine Burgundy, with a more raw and massive side.

About the estate:

Anyone who has tasted a wine from the brotherly duo Claude-Emmanuelle and Louis-Benoît Desvignes has experienced a special emotion. Here, the aesthetic quest focuses on the subtle expression of the terroir (mainly in Morgon), the right blend depending on the vintage, and the wine's aging potential, achieved through careful viticulture, sensitive winemaking that eschews dogma, and refined aging without wood. The third star has been pinned to the estate's jacket for several years now, and given the consistency and coherence of the range, we suspect it will remain there for many years to come.
