Bettane & Desseauve
Rated estate (2026 guide): 4*Stars (Producers of the very highest quality, the pride of French winemaking)
About the estate:
Now more than ever, the Domaine des Alliet—Claude, Philippe, and their son Pierre—stands as one of the Loire Valley’s leading estates, dedicated to crafting great Cabernet Franc wines. The new generation has moved away from overly assertive aging styles, and the wines are becoming more refined in their youth while retaining excellent aging potential over time. The Coteau-de-Noiré, grown on a south-facing clay-limestone terroir, stands out for its aging potential and its nuanced intensity.

Wine rated (2026 guide) 92/100 (2024 vintage)
Rated estate (2026 guide): 2*Stars (These exceptional estates, often boasting fabulous terroirs, are must-haves that, thanks to the consistency and excellence of their wines, deserve a place in the cellars of discerning wine lovers)
About the estate:
The unassuming Claude and Philippe Alliet pioneered a new style in Chinon in the 1990s. Their Vieilles Vignes wines (gravel soils, 70- to 90-year-old vines, aged 18 months in concrete tanks), L’Huisserie (upper hillside and flint-clay plateau), and especially Coteau de Noiré (a steep, south-facing clay-limestone slope), have captivated Cabernet Franc enthusiasts with their deep color and incredible density. But there is no set formula at Philippe Alliet’s estate. He is a discerning taster and an outstanding winemaker, supported since 2005 by his son, Pierre, who helps him craft wines that are ever deeper and more refined. Starting in 2010, Bordeaux-style barrels were phased out in favor of 500-liter casks, and the proportion of new oak was significantly reduced.
