Bettane & Desseauve

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 clearly evident, 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 new generation committed to innovation, developing a range of champagnes with a distinct identity—the very hallmark of the success of winemaker-produced champagnes.
