A pure Cabernet Franc—fruity, elegant, and full-bodied!

Bettane & Desseauve 16/20, RVF 15/20
The very old vines The Cabernet Franc vines (over 80 years old) that make up this cuvée give us this lovely red wineAnjou Fruity and full-bodied. The grapes, harvested at peak ripeness, set the tone, offering a high-quality wine that combines intensity and structure. With a beautiful range of aromas and supple tannins, this cuvée is best enjoyed now, while the fruit is at its peak. A excellent report quality/price/enjoyment ! Perfect on a grilled cut of beef…

About the estate:

Rated estate (2009 guide) 1*Star (Up-and-coming stars or quality winemakers producing wines of a high standard—you won’t be disappointed when tasting the wines from these estates)

About the estate:

Located in a microclimate exceptionally conducive to the development of noble rot, Fesles is to Bonnezeaux what Yquem is to Sauternes: the embodiment of the terroir and the guardian of a full-bodied, supremely elegant style of Chenin Blanc. Today, Bernard Germain’s team, following in the footsteps of pastry chef Gaston Lenôtre, upholds tradition while advancing the range of dry whites—Fesles’s latest venture.
