Bettane & Desseauve

(2012 Vintage Notes)
Les Chevalières reveals a floral profile, with slightly buttery notes and a very heady character, reminiscent of bitter or dry almonds. On the palate, it offers a warm, rich texture and a very long finish, making it a perfect pairing for foie gras, creamy fish dishes, or poultry. A sure bet from this appellation!

Wine rated (guide 2015) 15,5/20 (vintage 2012) (Very good wine)

Rated estate (2023 guide): 3*Stars (High-quality production that serves as a benchmark in its sector)

About the estate:

Frédérick and Franck Buisson, whose family has lived in the village since the 12th century, represent the eighth generation of winemakers at this historic Saint-Romain estate. Écocert-certified since 2012, they practice viticulture and winemaking that are as natural as possible. The red wines, which always contain a small proportion of whole clusters, offer a precise expression of their terroir, championing the rediscovery of a Saint-Romain that we have rarely seen at this level. The precise white wines are equally impressive.

Rated Estate (2023 Guide) 1*Star (Up-and-coming stars or high-quality winemakers producing wines of a high standard—you won’t be disappointed when you taste the wines from these estates)

About the estate:

Frédéric, the winemaker, and Franck, the sales representative, manage one of the largest estates in the southern part of the Côte de Beaune. Having practiced organic farming—certified since 2009—they made the transition to biodynamic farming in 2018. For the past ten years, they have been following the lunar calendar for their bottling. Their meticulous work in the vineyard and cellar allows them to produce deep, distinguished wines that age well. This is an estate that beautifully showcases the Saint-Romain appellation in both reds and whites; the wines are refined, precise, and elegant. A range of wines that fully deserves its first star.
