Ratings: Robert Parker 94/100, Gault Millau 19/20, Bettane & Desseauve 18.5/20, RVF 17.5/20
“This is our favorite from this fabulous range, where the mineral foundation commands the attention. You can literally taste the chalk, with remarkable fruit purity. The palate tingles with the sharp minerality, leading to an intense, mouth-watering finish.” (Les Meilleurs Vins de France 2011 - Gault Millau)

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 estate:
RVF - La Revue du Vin de France / Guide des Meilleurs Vins de France
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 enhanced by meticulous management practices: plowing the soil, 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.
