Note: Bettane & Desseauve 16.5/20
“Great elegance on the nose, a harmonious blend of notes of white flowers, vanilla, and citrus, along with hints of wine and wood; slender and refined, with excellent aging potential.” (The Bettane & Desseauve Guide to French Wines 2012)

Bettane & Desseauve
Rated estate (2020 guide): 4* Stars (Producers of the very highest quality, the pride of French viticulture)
About the estate:
With 120 hectares of vineyards—70 of which are located in the Côte Chalonnaise—and one of Burgundy’s most beautiful cellars in Nuits-Saint-Georges, along with recent expansions such as the lease of the Zibetti estate and the acquisition of the Dupont-Tisserand and Billaud-Simon estates, Faiveley is more than ever an indispensable ambassador for the great wines of Burgundy around the world. And we are delighted that this is not at the expense of the high standards of quality and style across all appellations and price points. The focus on vineyard work is paying off; the estate’s wines showcase the integrity and precision of expression in each cuvée, whether white or red. The 2017 vintage is once again a success and a cohesive collection.

Rated estate (2022 guide) Award-winning wines (This producer’s wines regularly receive awards from the guide)
About the estate:
Founded in Nuits-Saint-Georges in 1825, this estate has been a leading name in Burgundy for seven generations. Erwan Faiveley has been at the helm since 2005, having succeeded his father, François. Today, it is one of the largest vineyard owners in Burgundy: 120 hectares stretching from the northern Côte de Nuits to the southern Côte Chalonnaise, including 10 hectares of Grand Cru and nearly 25 hectares of Premier Cru.

Rated estate (2022 guide) 1*Star (Up-and-coming stars or quality winemakers producing wines of a high standard—you won’t be disappointed when you taste the wines from these estates)
About the estate:
With the help of his technical director, Jérôme Flous, Erwan Faiveley took over from his father in early 2005 and has since been quietly revolutionizing this vast estate with its exceptional vineyard heritage, which has expanded in recent years. The style of the wines has subtly evolved: solidly built around a dense structure and less austere than in the past, they now express a clear fruit character that comes through earlier. While the oak notes were once a bit green, they now take on toasted flavors. With improved ripeness, the grapes have, however, tended to integrate better over the past few vintages. The wines as a whole, particularly the reds, have made significant progress. A spectacular new winery was used for the first time for the 2018 harvest. This estate has successfully developed its wines with precision and intelligence.

Very disappointed. I was expecting a great bottle... but I found the wine almost tasteless... 2 out of 3 bottles.
