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

Bettane & Desseauve 16/20, RVF 15/20
The very old vines (over 80 years old) Cabernet Franc grapes that make up this cuvée give us this lovely red wine fromAnjou Fruity and full-bodied. Grapes harvested at peak ripeness set the tone, with high-quality fruit that combines concentration and structure. With a beautiful aromatic palette and supple tannins, this cuvée is ready to enjoy today, with its fruitiness. A excellent report quality/price/enjoyment ! Ideal with a piece of grilled beef...

Rated estate (2015 guide) 3 stars (High-quality production, serving as a benchmark in its sector)

About the estate:

Located near the village of Bonnezeaux, famous for its great sweet wines, this château offers breathtaking views of the Layon Valley. A thousand years ago, great wines were already being produced on these hillsides, and today its new owner wishes to continue this tradition of excellence and work towards producing great Loire whites.

Rated estate (2009 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:

Located in a microclimate that is exceptionally favorable to the development of noble rot, Fesles is to Bonnezeaux what Yquem is to Sauternes: the memory of the vintage and the guardian of a full-bodied, highly distinguished style of Chenin. Today, Bernard Germain's team, following in the footsteps of pastry chef Gaston Lenôtre, maintains the tradition while advancing the range of dry whites, Fesles' new venture.
