“With perfect structure, according to Jancis Robinson, this vibrant wine captivates with its citrus notes and refreshing fruitiness!”
“What an alluring Burgundy Chardonnay, offering an excellent balance between crisp citrus and dried pear aromas, with a delicate, woody, and herbaceous freshness. Medium-bodied. A slight hint of bitterness makes the finish even more lively. Made from organically grown grapes. Fermented and aged in oak barrels, only 10% of which are new. Drink now or cellar.” (James Suckling 2025)

Bettane & Desseauve
Rated estate (2022 guide): 4 stars (Producers of the very highest quality, the pride of French viticulture)
About the estate:
This historic winery, founded in 1831, is now run with great energy by Albéric Bichot, the sixth generation of a family whose presence in Burgundy dates back to the 13th century. Supported by Alain Serveau (technical director) and Christophe Chavel (wine director), these three musketeers have successfully built a unique model of a Burgundian winery, with Bichot-labeled wines across all the appellations of Greater Burgundy, as well as four estates rich in fine crus: Long-Depaquit for Chablis, Clos-Frantin for the Côte de Nuits, Domaine du Pavillon for the Côte de Beaune, and Domaine Adélie for the Côte Chalonnaise.

About the wine:
Buttery on the nose, with notes of yellow flowers and bergamot, and woody undertones. The palate is dense and straightforward, with lovely energy. The mid-palate is smooth.

Rated estate (2022 guide) Selected (Please note that this guide is a ranking, and as such, all the estates listed here—even those without a star—represent, in our view, the pinnacle of French winemaking.)
About the estate:
This historic Beaune winery, led by Albéric Bichot since 1996, has not always been known for the consistency and quality of its wines. Things have changed significantly since then. Under the Albert Bichot label, you’ll find wines from six estates: Long-Depaquit in Chablis (see this address), Clos Frantin and Château-Gris in the Côte de Nuits, Domaine du Pavillon, Domaine Adélie in the Côte Chalonnaise, and Domaine de Rochegrès in Beaujolais. Each of these estates has its own winemaking facilities and dedicated teams, led by the general technical director, Alain Serveau.
Jancis Robinson
Wine rated (2025 guide) 16/20
About the wine:
A lovely opening. Citrus, zest, and pulp, with a relatively sweet fruitiness. I really like it. It’s open and approachable. But it has character. It goes all the way through. Grammatically perfect, with a touch of iambic pentameter. Best enjoyed between 2026 and 2029.
