Berthet-Bondet - Côtes du Jura Vin de Paille 2009
15/20
Bettane & Desseauve
91/100
Robert Parker
The 2009 Vin de Paille has classic aromas of golden grapes, dates, and dried apricots with hints of ginger and pollen. There are also some yeasty notes. The palate is sweet and sour; it is not an overly sweet wine and has a lovely acidity that brings freshness. If you want an opulent sweet wine, drink it young; if you prefer something mellow and less sweet, let it age in the bottle." (Wine Advocate 2015 - Robert Parker).

Bettane & Desseauve
Wine rated (2015 guide) 15/20 (Very good wine)
Winery rated 2 stars (A serious and recommendable production, but a little more consistent and uniform than the previous one)
About wine:
Chardonnay, Poulsard, and Savagnin form an effective trio, with pencil lead and candied orange dominating the nose. The palate, with ripe citrus fruits and sharp acidity, is very comfortable, without any saturation.
About the estate:
The estate overlooks Château-Chalon, perched on a rocky outcrop at an altitude of 450 meters. Jean has passed the baton to his daughter Hélène, who came to take over after a first career as a translator in Brussels, and ensure the smooth running of the 15 hectares. Certified organic since 2013, the wines are among the vineyard's successes, particularly the voile wines, which are the estate's great specialty. The yellow wines (4.5 hectares in Château-Chalon) are aged in magnificent vaulted cellars.

About the estate:

Rated estate (2024 guide) 1*Star (Up-and-coming stars or quality winemakers producing good-quality wines; you won't be disappointed when tasting the wines from these estates)
About the estate:
Chantal and Jean Berthet-Bondet, both agricultural engineers, left the city in 1985 to create this 11-hectare estate, located equally in the Château-Chalon and Côtes du Jura appellations, and certified organic since 2013. Jean's daughter Hélène is now at the helm. The quality is improving in terms of expression and purity of fruit. New vintages and labels for ouillé wines have been cleverly redefined, although the vintages aged under veil remain the undisputed stars of the estate, with a Château-Chalon that could serve as a model for the prestigious appellation.
