Bettane & Desseauve

Wine rated 16/20 (Very good wine)

Rated estate (2021 guide) 2*Stars (A solid, recommendable vintage, though slightly more consistent and uniform than the previous one)

About the wine:

Undoubtedly the most harmonious and well-rounded wine of the past thirty years, offering, compared to 2010, more subtle aromatic nuances and better-integrated tannins.

About the estate:

A magnificent Chartreuse overlooking the river, Beau-Site boasts one of the most beautiful views in the northern part of the appellation. It is owned by Philippe Castéja, who also owns the Châteaux Batailley and Trottevieille. The estate produces an elegant, distinguished wine that is always full-bodied without lacking finesse or elegance. The estate has reached a new milestone.

A few appealing earthy notes amidst bright red berries and dried red flowers. Then there is a subtle spicy character emerging from the oak. The palate features a clean, concise structure of spicy fruit with a hint of crisp tannins. 22% Merlot, 2% Cabernet Franc, 3% Petit Verdot, and 73% Cabernet Sauvignon. Drink now or cellar.
