Bettane & Desseauve

Rated estate (2016 guide): 2 stars (A solid, recommendable vintage, though slightly more consistent and uniform than the previous one)

About the estate:

A complete change in ownership and direction has revitalized this Nuits-Saint-Georges wine merchant: the wines are increasingly vinified and aged in-house to ensure consistency and continuity, and the company now owns a lovely estate in Mercurey. Not everything is perfect yet, but the tenacity of Philippe Bardet, the winery’s director—who understands the character of great Burgundies (he is a co-owner of Clos de Tart!)—holds great promise for the near future.

Guide Hachette des vins

Rated estate (2016 guide) Award-winning wines (This producer’s wines are regularly recognized by the guide)

About the estate:

A wine merchant established in 1859 by Evgueni-Louis Max, an emigrant from Georgia. Since 2007, it has been owned by Philippe Bardet, a wine enthusiast from Geneva, who in 2014 entrusted David Duband, a renowned winemaker from the Côte de Nuits, with the responsibility for the winemaking and aging of the house’s wines. In addition to purchasing grapes, the company owns 150 hectares of vineyards in Mercurey and the Corbières. The bottles feature instantly recognizable labels designed by Pierre Le Tan.
