"A wine at the peak of its maturity, with a nose of white chocolate, hazelnut, yellow fruit, and toast—a prelude to a balanced palate that is both full-bodied and fresh, with aromas of toast and apricot." (Le Guide Hachette des Vins 2016)

Bettane & Desseauve

Bettane & Desseauve

Wine rated (2016 guide) 16/20 (Very good wine)

Rated estate (2022 guide): 3*Stars (High-quality production that serves as a benchmark 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 benchmark terroir for great Chardonnays, this 22-hectare family-owned estate is now run by Jean-Étienne and Jean-Emmanuel Bonnaire. Perfect as aperitifs, these champagnes are sure bets in the region. The brothers also manage Champagnes Paul Clouet, a sister house that has been 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.
Hachette Wine Guide

Guide Hachette des vins

Wine noted (guide 2016) 1*Star (Very successful wine)

Rated Estate (2022 Guide) Award-Winning Wines (This producer's wines regularly receive awards from the guide)

About the wine:

A wine at the peak of its maturity, with a nose of white chocolate, hazelnut, yellow fruit, and toast—a prelude to a balanced palate that is both full-bodied and fresh, with aromas 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 spans 25 hectares, primarily in the Côte des Blancs. Since 2012, it has been run by Jean-Emmanuel and Jean-Étienne Bonnaire, the 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 color with golden highlights and fine, lively bubbles that lead to a bouquet of dried fruits, hazelnuts, almonds, herbal tea, linden, chamomile, bread crumbs, and citrus. The wine is both full-bodied and fresh on the palate, with a subtle minerality.

About the estate:

Located on the Côte des Blancs, the kingdom of Chardonnay, with vineyards acquired in Fossoy and Bergères-les-Vertus, this family-owned 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 used for aging in tanks and old barrels (the Ver Sacrum and Variance cuvées, aged under cork for more than 6 years). All dosage levels have been reduced.
