Bettane & Desseauve
Wine rated (2015 guide) 14/20 (Good wine)
Rated estate (2015 guide): 1*Star (A high-quality, recommendable wine that lives up to what one would expect from its appellation(s))
About the wine:
Aroma of white fruit and almond with a hint of red fruit; on the palate, the Pinot Noir character is well defined, with just the right amount of intensity.
About the estate:
Since the 16th century, the Maillart family has been growing grapes on the northern slopes of the Montagne de Reims. Nicolas represents a generation that seeks to move forward by developing a range of champagnes with a stronger sense of identity—the very qualities that have made winemaker champagnes so successful.
