Bettane & Desseauve
Wine rated 16.5/20 (Reference wine)
Rated estate (2020 guide) 4 stars (Producers of very high quality, those who are the pride of French vineyards)
About wine:
At this stage, it is more harmonious and balanced than the grand vin, with slightly less body but freshness, finesse, and a more assertive length.
About the estate:
The Louis Roederer champagne house acquired this renowned vineyard with the firm intention of restoring it to its former glory as a model grand cru after several disappointing vintages. A great deal of effort has been put into viticulture, increasingly inspired by organic methods, a state-of-the-art winery has been built, and the blends have increased the proportion of Cabernet Sauvignon while retaining the contributions of the three other grape varieties, which give the vintage its originality. The wine has gained in vigor without losing its charm and finesse.

Wine rating (2017 guide) 91/100 (Outstanding wine)
Rated Recommended (Wine producer recommended by Robert Parker - The Wine Advocate)
About wine:
The 2014 Comtesse de Lalande Reserve has a very fresh and vibrant bouquet with beautiful black fruits infused with cedar that sing the essence of Pauillac. The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannins, crisp and elegant with lively acidity. It seems fairly linear at the moment and perhaps the finish could have brought even more complexity in proportion to the aromatic profile. However, there are bursts of freshness infused in this second wine and a palpable salinity on the finish.
RVF - La Revue du Vin de France / Guide des Meilleurs Vins de France
Rated estate (2020 guide) 2 stars (These very large estates, often blessed with fabulous terroirs, are must-haves which, thanks to their consistency and the excellence of their production, deserve a place in the cellars of discerning wine lovers).
About the estate:
Part of the Rouzaud family (Louis Roederer champagnes) since 2007, the estate began a new chapter in its history almost a decade ago. Under the leadership of Nicolas Glumineau, it has since relaunched itself in the race for excellence and intends to regain the position of "super second" that it held in the 1980s, thanks to the production of a series of legendary wines (1982, 1986, 1989). While the 2000s were less successful, the latest vintages, delivering a more precise and straightforward wine, more marked by Cabernet, are much more convincing.
