Bettane & Desseauve
Winery rated 1*Star (A serious, recommendable production, consistent with what one would expect from its appellation(s))
About the estate:
Established since 1981 on part of the family estate in Cravant-les-Coteaux, Pierre Sourdais cultivates his 27 hectares of vines using organic farming methods, with some plots located on the plain and others on the hillsides. The Réserve Stanislas and Les Boulaies vintages are particularly sought after, as they produce wines with the best tannic structure and aging potential.

About wine:
In the past, oak bark was ground at the mill to produce tannin for use in leatherworking. Today, Pierre Sourdais focuses all his attention on wine. The 2002 Réserve Stanislas red is described as powerful, with a bright future ahead of it.
About the estate:
It was at Moulin-à-Tan that oak bark was once ground for use in treating hides in the region's many tanneries. Today, the old mill has given way to a 27-hectare organic vineyard run by Pierre Sourdais, who is gradually handing it over to his daughter Caroline and son-in-law Sylvain. A sure bet in the Chinon region.

Excellent! Finally, a Cabernet Franc that can be enjoyed without cellaring—it's so rare, and all for just $12! Bravo!
