Bettane & Desseauve

This cuvée is a blend from various schist-soil plots, with 90% Cabernet Franc and 10% Cabernet Sauvignon, expertly balanced. The wine is full-bodied, rich, and concentrated, complemented by the vintage’s freshness. A beautiful red from the Loire Valley worth discovering!

Bettane & Desseauve

Wine rated (2019 guide) 14,5/20 (Good wine)

Rated 2*Stars (A solid, recommendable wine, though slightly more consistent and uniform than the previous one)

About the estate:

This 45-hectare vineyard—80% of which is planted with Chenin—produces a wide range of white wines. René handles winemaking, while his older brother Christophe tends the vineyards. They aren’t organic, to be sure, but the soil is worked “their own way.” In the cellar, the same meticulous care prevails, with a variety of tanks of all kinds (stainless steel, cement, cylindrical, underground, 30-hl wooden tanks by Stockinger…), suited to crafting nuanced and complex wines. The sweet wines are the estate’s greatest strength, as is the Savennières series (13 hectares), impeccably balanced.

About the estate:

This 46-hectare estate, formed by the merger of two family-run vineyards, has been managed by René Papin since 2010. The estate is particularly renowned for the quality of its white wines, both dry and sweet. A must-visit.
