Bettane & Desseauve
Wine rated 90/100 (2020 vintage)
Rated estate (2025 guide) 4 stars (Producers of very high quality, those who are the pride of French vineyards)
About the estate:
This family-owned estate, founded in 1797, is mainly linked to the Côte de Beaune, where it owns most of its vineyards, with a sumptuous location on the famous Corton hillside as its highlight. Louis-Fabrice, the eleventh generation of Latours, chairs the family board and has complete confidence in his excellent winemakers. The reds have undergone longer fermentation, giving them more body and substance, while the whites are less reduced and more harmoniously oaked than in the past, with a constant search for balance that sometimes leads them to be underestimated in their youth, but they age magnificently. 2017 is in line with the success of 2010 and 2015 for both colors, but we would place more trust in the cuvées from the estate's own vines than in certain purchases, especially the whites, which are too diluted.

Rated estate (2025 guide) Award-winning wines (This producer's wines are regularly recognized by the guide)
About the estate:
A family-owned estate founded in 1797 and run by 10 successive generations of Latours. A key player in Burgundy's wine industry and the largest owner of grands crus in the Côte-d'Or (28 hectares of its 48-hectare vineyard). The grapes are vinified in Aloxe-Corton, the family's birthplace, and the estate has its own cooperage.

Very disappointed with this Pernand... one bottle was undrinkable, the other very average. Avoid...
