"A rich and harmonious taste experience, combining finesse and depth."
"All terroirs are classified as premier cru or grand cru. Organic and biodynamic cultivation. Classic champagne characteristics. Acidity present, but with great depth and complexity on the palate. Notes of hazelnut, yeast, and tangy citrus. Much to discover and enjoy." (Jancis Robinson 2025).

Bettane & Desseauve
Rated estate (2026 guide) 4 stars (Producers of very high quality, those who are the pride of French vineyards)
About the estate:
This brand, located in Epernay, a pioneer in organic viticulture in Champagne, was created by the Leclerc family in 1872 and experienced a renaissance under the leadership of Pascal Leclerc Briant in the 1990s and 2000s. The trading house was bought in 2012 by an American couple, Mark Nunnelly and Denise Dupré, who are passionate about champagne and the French art of living. Today, the house has reached a brilliant maturity, complemented by the spectacular revival of the Hôtel Royal Champagne. All the champagnes, produced using biodynamic viticulture, have great personality and intense, profound expression. Hervé Jestin, the cellar master, offers wines that inspire our admiration.

Wine rated (2026 guide) 90/100
Rated estate (2026 guide) 2 stars (These very large estates, often blessed with fabulous terroirs, are must-haves which, thanks to their consistency and the excellence of their production, deserve a place in the cellars of discerning wine lovers).
About wine:
The reserve shows beautiful maturity, and the whole is relaxed.
About the estate:
Acquired in 2012 by a passionate American couple, this small house has risen from the ashes thanks to wines with great personality. The vines are cultivated biodynamically and purchases are made from organic or biodynamic winegrowers. The majority of the supplies come from very fine terroirs (Mailly, Le Mesnil, Cumières, etc.). Hervé Jestin has been working with the estate for several years, bringing his well-known talent to bear. The Abyss cuvées, champagnes submerged at the bottom of the sea for 12 months off the coast of the island of Ouessant, have a real identity, as do the Château d'Avize and Les Mont Ferrés parcels. Partial aging in wood, low dosages, tension and vinosity are the hallmarks of this fine house.

About wine:
Aromas of French toast, chopped nuts, toasted brioche, and berries, followed by a medium-bodied, toasty, and flavorful palate with creamy bubbles and lively acidity. Ready to drink now.
