Bettane & Desseauve
"A 1er Cru with aging potential, perfect for pairing with fine game"
A cuvée that pays homage to the estate’s history! It comes from the oldest vines, planted in 1922, which cover an area of 8 ouvrées (the unit of measurement used for vineyards in Burgundy). Light and elegant on the palate, it reveals fresh red berries such as red currants.

About the estate:
Operated by the Devillard family—which also owns Château de Chamirey in Mercurey—the vineyard is situated on remarkable terroirs in the southern part of the Côte de Nuits, and its grapes are vinified in the spirit of modern wines, seeking high ripeness and deep, voluptuous textures. The results have been impressive in recent years, even at the commune level, with wines that are now very refined—a departure from the more robust styles we were accustomed to. The 2018 vintage has been captured here in all its fullness; these will be wines suitable for aging, and indeed for very long-term aging in the case of the Nuits and Échezeaux. There is also a delightful red Burgundy.
