Bettane & Desseauve

(2016 Vintage Notes)

A blend of Syrah and Chenin from the South, resulting in a complex and refined wine. The nose offers aromas of violets, coffee, and black fruits, leading to a flavorful palate. The structure is characterized by powerful tannins. Very limited quantities!

Review by Mr. VIVIEN T. Published on March 10, 2021

I was expecting a pleasant surprise, but in the end, it was a wine that clearly lacked personality and character
