89/100
Bettane & Desseauve
"Remarkable body and character that should be of interest to any serious connoisseur, for use well beyond that of a pleasant aperitif, with an exemplary saline, rising finish. A thousand times more interesting than the mediocre famous villages that are unfortunately bought by certain merchants". (Le Guide Bettane + Desseauve)

Food and wine pairing
Ideal as an aperitif, or with snails, fish bouchées à la reine, honey-braised ham...

About the domain :
More than a novelty, a rebirth. The return of this old house feels good. The man who has revived it is Laurent Delaunay. He is the founder's great-grandson, and has established himself as a benchmark for Languedoc pleasure wines in supermarkets. It's in Burgundy, on his home turf, that he once again displays the full extent of his talent and vision. We particularly recommend the nuits-saint-georges cuvées, vinified with extreme care and attention to tannin extraction, resulting in voluptuous, tender wines that are always upright. The entire range is beyond reproach.
