Bettane & Desseauve

"This new cuvée created by François Thienpont plays the Merlot card with a round, floral, fruity, and very harmonious wine. Easy to drink but complete. " (Le Guide Bettane & Desseauve des Vins 2015) In keeping with the range, this cuvée is made mainly from Merlot. A fruity, easy-drinking style that reflects François Thienpont's desire to produce wines that are affordable both in terms of taste and price.
