Bettane & Desseauve
Rated (2021 Guide) 5* Stars (Exceptional producers who represent the absolute pinnacle of quality in France and around the world)
About the estate:
Having been in his position since the estate was acquired by Bouchard Père et Fils of Beaune nearly a quarter of a century ago, Didier Séguier has significantly improved the quality of the wines since then. While the vineyard holdings are undoubtedly the finest in the entire Chablis region, encompassing both Premier Crus and Grands Crus, it is the dedicated and meticulous work in both the vineyard and the cellar that allows the full essence of the minerality unique to Chablis’s Kimmeridgian limestone to be extracted. These wines regularly offer the advantage of being enjoyable when young yet age impeccably.

About the wine:
Notes of lemon, floral undertones, coconut water, pear, and a vibrant acidity with steel-like highlights that lingers into a youthful finish.

About the wine:
Made from 46 hectares of vines with an average age of 45 years, Fèvre’s 2020 Chablis Village is a rare example of a wine that combines quantity and quality. Offering aromas of white flowers, light honey, bread dough, and fresh pastries, it is medium-bodied, briny, and harmonious, with bright acidity and a finely balanced, elegant, and intensely aromatic profile.

Rated estate (2023 guide) 2*Stars (These exceptional estates, often blessed with fabulous terroirs, are must-haves that, thanks to the consistency and excellence of their wines, deserve a place in the cellars of discerning wine lovers)
About the estate:
Owned by the Henriot Group, this estate is the largest owner of Grand Cru vineyards in Chablis, with over fifteen hectares. Its extensive vineyards and diverse range of terroirs are brought to their full potential through meticulous management: soil tillage, hand-harvesting at the optimal time, and yield control. Passionate about his vines, Didier Seguier, who has led the estate since 1998, produces pure, well-defined, and crisp Chablis wines, using organic methods (certification pending) and even biodynamic practices for the Premier and Grand Crus. With the exception of the Petit Chablis, vinification and aging are skillfully divided for each cuvée between barrels—never new—and stainless steel tanks. Eschewing any distinct signature, the style captivates through its respect for the terroir and the expression of minerality, which have been better preserved since the estate gradually switched the entire range to Diam’s corks between 2005 and 2010. The transition to organic farming is underway.

About the wine:
The 2020 Chablis Village comes from 50 different plots averaging about 50 years old, most of which were planted in the late 1960s. The Granny Smith apple aroma, simple yet well-defined, is light and airy. The palate is lively and taut, with notes of citrus, lemon, and salt. The finish is very tart and doesn’t linger very long, but it conveys a satisfying energy at this level.
