Bettane & Desseauve
Wine rated (2016 guide) 16/20 (Very good wine)
Rated estate (2022 guide): 3 stars (High-quality production, setting the standard in its sector)
About the wine:
Aroma of brioche and candied fruit; full-bodied on the palate with a touch of elegance.
About the estate:
Located in Cramant, a premier terroir for great Chardonnays, this 22-hectare family estate is now run by Jean-Étienne and Jean-Emmanuel Bonnaire. Perfect as an aperitif, these champagnes are a sure bet in the region. The brothers also manage Champagnes Paul Clouet, a sister house affiliated with the family vineyard since 1992. Some of the cuvées are aged in oak, and older vintages can be disgorged upon request. This is a reliable producer that continues to evolve and refine its style.

About the wine:
A wine at the peak of its maturity, with aromas of white chocolate, hazelnut, yellow fruit, and toast, leading to a balanced palate that is both full-bodied and fresh, with notes of toast and apricot.
About the estate:
Like many Champagne winegrowers, the great-grandfather of the current winemakers broke away from the wine merchants following the 1929 crisis and began bottling his own 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 the wine:
A beautiful golden hue with golden highlights and fine, lively bubbles that lead to a bouquet of dried fruit, hazelnuts, almonds, herbal tea, linden blossom, chamomile, breadcrumbs, and citrus. The wine is both full-bodied and fresh on the palate, with a subtle minerality.
About the estate:
Located in the Côte des Blancs, the kingdom of Chardonnay, with vineyards acquired in Fossoy and Bergères-les-Vertus, this family estate—founded in 1932 and based in Cramant—is now run by the fourth generation, Jean-Etienne and Jean-Emmanuel Bonnaire. Their 22 hectares of vineyards, planted primarily with Chardonnay, produce grapes destined for aging in tanks and old barrels (the Ver Sacrum and Variance cuvées, aged under cork for over 6 years). All dosages have been reduced.
