Bettane & Desseauve

“Fresh, crisp, elegant—a pleasant, unpretentious Chenin that’s a real delight. ” (The Bettane & Desseauve Guide to French Wines 2017) Grown on schist and limestone soils, the Chenin Blanc here expresses itself through fruit, freshness, and elegance. A straightforward yet rich wine that pairs well with fresh appetizers or can be enjoyed on its own as an aperitif.

Bettane & Desseauve

Wine rated (2017 guide) 15/20 (Very good wine)

Rated estate (2017 guide): 2*Stars (A solid, recommendable wine, though slightly more consistent and uniform than the previous vintage)

About the wine:

Fresh, crisp, and elegant—a pleasant, unpretentious Chenin that’s a real delight.

About the estate:

Founded in 2008 by Isabelle and Jo Pithon, in partnership with Joseph and Wendy Paillé (who have since moved to Roussillon but have been replaced by Jules and Tania—are you following?), this young winery is making a sensational debut among the Loire Valley’s leading estates. Alongside its 13 hectares of vineyards (including 11 hectares of Chenin), cultivated organically and vinified by Jo Pithon himself, is a well-established wine trading operation, set up in partnership with winemakers who work primarily using organic methods. Jo Pithon has thus established himself as one of the leading names in white Anjou.

Wine rated (2017 guide) 15/20 (Good wine)

Rated Estate (2017 Guide) Selected (Please note that this guide is a ranking, and as such, all the estates listed here—even those without a star—represent, in our view, the pinnacle of French winemaking.)

About the wine:

Soft and rounded, Mozaïk offers a caressing, almost velvety texture: an early-drinking, genuine wine.

About the estate:

After selling their vineyard to Philippe Fournier (at Domaine FL), Jo and Isabelle Pithon founded this wine merchant in 2008 with Joseph Paillé, Isabelle’s son, and his wife Wendy, a South African sommelier. They own 7 hectares of organic vineyards and produce and age Chenin and Cabernet Franc grapes from various terroirs along the Loire. In this successful Loire blend of refreshing, easy-drinking wines and a few great terroir-driven cuvées, the whites are gaining prominence, particularly the exceptional Coteaux des Treilles.
