Bettane & Desseauve

Bettane & Desseauve

Wine rated (2015 guide) 14/20 (Good wine)

Rated estate (2015 guide) 1*Star (A serious, recommendable production, in line with what one would expect from its appellation(s))

About wine:

A nose of white fruits and almonds with a hint of red fruits, a palate marked by its Pinot Noir grapes, with just the right amount of intensity.

About the estate:

Since the 16th century, the Maillart family has been cultivating vines on the northern slopes of the Montagne de Reims. Nicolas embodies a generation that wants to evolve by developing a range of champagnes with a stronger identity, which are the key to the success of winegrowers' champagnes.
