Bettane & Desseauve
Wine rated (2016 guide) 16/20 (Very good wine)
Rated estate (2022 guide) 3 stars (High-quality production, serving as a benchmark in its sector)
About wine:
Aroma of brioche and candied fruit, full-bodied on the palate with a touch of elegance.
About the estate:
Located in Cramant, a renowned terroir for great Chardonnays, this 22-hectare family estate is now run by Jean-Étienne and Jean-Emmanuel Bonnaire. These champagnes are perfect as aperitifs and are considered to be among the best in the industry. The brothers also manage Champagnes Paul Clouet, a sister company that has been part of the family vineyard since 1992. Some of the cuvées are aged in wood, and older vintages can be disgorged on request. This is a reliable address that is progressing and refining its style.
Guide Hachette des vins
Wine noted (guide 2016) 1*Star (Very successful wine)
Rated estate (2022 guide) Award-winning wines (This producer's wines are regularly recognized by the guide)
About wine:
A vintage at its peak, with aromas of white chocolate, hazelnut, yellow fruit, and toast, leading to a balanced palate that is both full-bodied and fresh, with flavors of toast and apricot.
About the estate:
Like many Champagne winegrowers, the great-grandfather of the current winegrowers gained independence from the wine trade following the 1929 crisis and began producing wine in 1932. Today, the estate covers 25 hectares, mainly in the Côte des Blancs. Since 2012, it has been run by Jean-Emmanuel and Jean-Étienne Bonnaire, sons of Jean-Louis, who passed away in 2015.
Guide des Vins Gault & Millau
Wine rated (2016 guide) 15,5/20 (Very good)
Rated estate (2022 guide) Recommended (Recommended)
About wine:
Beautiful golden color with golden highlights and fine, lively bubbles that lead us to a bouquet of dried fruit, hazelnuts, almonds, herbal tea, lime blossom, chamomile, breadcrumbs, and citrus. The wine is both vinous and fresh on the palate with a latent minerality.
About the estate:
On the Côte des Blancs, the kingdom of Chardonnay, with vineyards acquired in Fossoy and Bergères-les-Vertus, the family estate founded in 1932, located in Cramant, is now run by the fourth generation with Jean-Etienne and Jean-Emmanuel Bonnaire. Their 22 hectares of vines, mainly composed of Chardonnay, produce grapes destined for ageing in vats and old barrels (Ver Sacrum and Variance cuvées, aged under cork for more than 6 years). The dosages have all been reduced.
