Bettane & Desseauve

Wine rated 15/20 (Very good wine)

Rated estate (2017 guide): 2*Stars (A solid, recommendable wine, though slightly more consistent and uniform than the previous vintage)

About the wine:

Superb aromas of jammy red berries, cocoa, violets, and pine; full-bodied on the palate, with lovely texture, plenty of flavor, and freshness. Well-balanced.

About the estate:

Acquired in 2009 by Julie and Xavier Gonet-Médeville—who also own the eponymous champagne house and Château Gilette in Sauternes—this small Margaux vineyard, spanning just three hectares, is situated on deep gravel soils in the commune of Margaux. It is the quintessential Margaux, characterized by great precision.

About the estate:

In 2009, Éric Grangerou, the heir to three generations of cellar masters at Château Margaux, took over this small 3-hectare estate from the Gonet-Médeville family, owners of Château les Justices in Sauternes.

Wine rated (2017 guide) 14,5/20 (Good wine)

Rated estate (2017 guide) 1*Star (Up-and-coming stars or high-quality winemakers producing wines of a good standard—you won’t be disappointed when you taste the wines from these estates)

About the wine:

The 2013 is the smoothest and most delicate of the wines from this small, artisanally produced vineyard. It is nonetheless a pleasant wine to drink while it’s still fruity.

About the estate:

A true revelation among recent vintages, this small estate was taken over by Julie and Xavier Gonet-Médeville in 2009. Its 2.5-hectare vineyard, superbly situated in Margaux, produces a refined and elegant wine that rivals many of the classified growths. The addition of a new wine cellar and fermentation tanks with the 2014 vintage will allow the estate to take things even further. A wonderful discovery off the well-trodden path of the classified growths.
