Bettane & Desseauve

(Notes from the 2014 vintage)

Golden yellow in color, this 100% Romorantin wine, aged in barrels, reveals slightly smoky aromas with notes of thyme. Round and powerful on the palate, it delights with its length and minerality.

About the estate:

Vincent Hayer, who served as the estate's operations manager for nearly 20 years, became the property manager in 2020. The estate, formerly part of Château de Troussay, converted to organic farming in 2012 and biodynamic farming in 2015. Owned by the highly committed Chevrier family, the estate covers 30 hectares divided between Cour-Cheverny and Cheverny, with some very old Sauvignon vines in particular.

The wines presented retain their sincerity of substance and aromas, without pretension. They respect the aging and identity of Sauvignon and Chardonnay for the whites, and Pinot Noir and Gamay for the reds. Let's observe the transition...
