Bettane & Desseauve

Wine rated (2018 guide) 15/20 (Very good wine)

Rated estate (2024 guide): 3*Stars (High-quality production that serves as a benchmark in its sector)

About the wine:

Fruity on the nose. Precise and rich on the palate, with notes of strawberry. Remains fresh and pleasant.

About the estate:

Cédric Lecareux and his wife Catherine founded the Capréoles estate in July 2014 with three hectares of adjacent vineyards, to which they added two more hectares two years later. From Beaujolais-Villages to the Régnié cru, everything is highly recommended, with—in our opinion—more refined aging profiles. A wonderful place to visit.

Rated Estate (2024 Guide) Award-Winning Wines (This producer's wines regularly receive awards from the guide)

About the estate:

Cédric Lecareux—who came from Languedoc-Roussillon, where he worked at the Gérard Bertrand Group’s estates—and his wife, a native of the Beaujolais region, purchased this 250-year-old estate in 2014. There, they cultivate 8 hectares of organically farmed vineyards laid out like a garden around the property, offering an exceptional view of the two church steeples in Régnié-Durette.

Rated Estate (2024 Guide) Selected (Please note that this guide is a ranking, and as such, all the estates listed here—even those without a star—represent, in our view, the pinnacle of French winemaking.)

About the estate:

Cédric Lecareux is one of those new-generation winemakers who are shaking up the Beaujolais region. After serving as technical director for a major Languedoc wine merchant for six harvests, he settled in Régnié with his wife Catherine—an agricultural engineer like himself—on a neglected vineyard. Upon their arrival in 2014, they began the process of obtaining organic certification, which was granted in 2017. Adhering to the maxim “The rule is that there are no rules,” they adapt their destemming and aging methods to suit each year’s harvest.

Review and comment by Mr. JEAN CLAUDE M. Posted on 12/31/2018

Excellent, well-structured, and vibrant; very typical of Beaujolais; Lantignié deserves to become the 11th cru
