The 2019 Les Bâtardes continues to charm us with its finesse and authenticity. Dark fruit is evident on both the nose and the palate, accompanied by spicy notes. Full-bodied, well-structured, and with delicate tannins, the palate is all elegance and harmony. Still young, you’ll enjoy it to the fullest in a few months.

Bettane & Desseauve
Rated estate (2020 guide): 2 stars (A solid, recommendable wine, though slightly more consistent and uniform than the previous vintage)
About the estate:
The wonderful journey continues for Grégory Viennois and Delphine Carré, alongside their respective roles at the Laroche estates. This wine merchant specializing exclusively in red wines from the Irancy appellation was a missing piece in the region’s landscape, especially since they launched with the splendid 2015 vintage. In 2016, they chose to blend everything into a single cuvée, but the 2017 vintage returns to the three cuvées that have now become the norm, including an absolutely splendid “Beaux-Monts.” You’ll need to reserve these cuvées well in advance at the estate!
Guide Hachette des vins
Rated estate (2022 guide) Award-winning wines (This producer’s wines regularly receive awards from the guide)
About the estate:
A very young wine merchant founded in 2015 by Delphine and Grégory Viennois. Delphine comes from a family of winemakers and has worked for major Burgundy estates. Grégory, also from Burgundy and a graduate in oenology, has an impressive resume: he learned the trade under Nadine Gublin (Dom. Jacques Prieur) and Jean-Pierre de Smet (Dom. de l’Arlot), worked as a winemaker at Château Smith-Haut-Lafitte, served as technical director for Michel Chapoutier, and was general manager of Ferraton Père & Fils. Since 2011, he has served as technical director at Dom. Laroche in Chablis and has been consulting for Quinta Do Monte d’Oiro in Portugal since 2006.
