Bettane & Desseauve

Wine rated (2013 guide) 16/20 (Very good wine)

Rated estate (2021 guide) 1*Star (A serious, recommendable production that lives up to what one would expect from its appellation(s))

About the wine:

The nose offers notes of ripe fruit and mocha. On the palate, it is rich and indulgent, with a lighter, more elegant profile compared to the previous vintage. The tannins are exceptionally refined.

About the estate:

A renowned estate that was all the rage in the 19th century, this “sleeping beauty” awoke in fine form four years ago, thanks to its acquisition by the Mounier cognac house. Laurent Méry serves as its director. Located between Margaux and Saint-Julien on gravelly terroirs, the vineyard spans nearly 70 hectares, planted equally with Cabernet and Merlot. Extensive renovations have been undertaken to restore the château to its former glory. Modern and avant-garde, with guidance from Hubert de Boüard (Château Angélus), the wine retains its finesse and elegance.

Decanter

Guide Hachette des vins

Rated Estate (2021 Guide) Award-Winning Wines (This producer's wines regularly receive awards from the guide)

About the estate:

A "cru bourgeois" that has been producing wine since the Middle Ages. It owes its name to the agronomist Jacques de Bergeron, who developed a grafting method in the early 19th century. Surrounded by a 19th-century building, the vineyard covers nearly 80 hectares and is owned by the H. Mounier and Hardy cognac houses.
