Bettane & Desseauve

Wine rated (2024 guide) 90/100

Rated estate (2024 guide) 2 stars (A serious and recommendable production, but a little more consistent and uniform than the previous one)

About wine:

A very delicate bubble, an elegant nose of Williams pear and white flowers, and a palate to match with a pleasant liveliness. The finish is easy to drink.

About the estate:

Françoise Antech-Gazeau masterfully manages this successful wine merchant, which has specialized in sparkling wines for six generations. Nearly a million bottles leave the cellars each year. A wide range of very consistent wines of high quality, with a clear focus on purity, minerality, and freshness. The M30 cuvée, made from Mauzac grapes, impressed us with its wonderful aperitif qualities.
