Bettane & Desseauve
Wine rating (2020 guide) 14.5/20 (2017 vintage) (Good wine)
Rated estate (2021 guide) 2 stars (A serious and recommendable production, but a little more consistent and uniform than the previous one)
About the estate:
For more than two decades, Catherine and Pierre Breton and their son Paul have been demonstrating that organic wine in Touraine can reach great heights while remaining reasonably priced. Their long macerations allow the velvety texture to complement the purity of fruit in all their wines. The Bourgueil vintages, which cover 10 hectares, regularly feature in our blind tastings. Trinch is a straightforward wine, and the great vintages must be decanted 2 to 3 hours before serving to bring out the juiciness of Nuits-d'Ivresse, the purity of Pierres and the chalky touch of Clos-Sénéchal. One of the most refreshing addresses in the Loire, to be discovered without restraint!

Rated estate (2021 guide) 1*Star (Up-and-coming stars or quality winemakers producing good wines; you won't be disappointed when tasting the wines from these estates)
About the estate:
For more than twenty years, Catherine and Pierre Breton have been successfully making their mark in organic wine production in Touraine. Their son Paul has joined them at the estate and is responsible for vinifying the Pierres Rousses Vouvray, among others. The very fine, soft tannins resulting from long maceration are evident in the delicious, easy-drinking Trinch and Avis de Vin Fort cuvées, which contain little sulfur and are intended to be drunk young. The terroir wines (Clos Sénéchal, Les Perrières and Nuits d'Ivresse, made from Grand-Mont and Busardières vines), which are more intense, have never shown as much finesse and precision as in the latest vintages, while retaining a slightly wild character that gives them great depth. They also age very well.

Review and opinion by Mr. MICHEL K. Published on 04/17/2021
A little too natural for my taste for a grape variety that is already very fruity and stands well on its own.
