“The much more limestone-driven character of Champs des Billons is evident right from the nose: notes of damp limestone and pebbles are present. The palate is lively, with good structure and a finish that evokes the scent of boxwood and Menton lemons.” (Les Meilleurs Vins de France 2012 - Gault Millau). A truly outstanding wine!

Bettane & Desseauve
Rated estate (2026 guide): 3 stars (High-quality production, setting the standard in its sector)
About the estate:
Sébastien and Romain Redde continue to build on the success of this iconic Pouilly estate, founded in the 1950s by their grandfather Michel. Actively developed by their father Thierry, the range covers the appellation’s five terroirs. They have since structured it into single-vineyard cuvées, spread across 40 hectares of vineyards (including 1.5 hectares of Chasselas). In 2016, the Barre-à-Mine cuvée was born from a former flint quarry, planted at 10,000 vines per hectare and rehabilitated after a long, titanic effort. The Majorum cuvée represents the flagship of the range, sourced from the oldest vines and produced only in exceptional vintages. The well-equipped winery, meticulous aging, and the two brothers’ drive for improvement cement this estate’s place among the sector’s greatest successes.

Rated estate (2026 guide) Award-winning wines (This producer’s wines regularly receive awards from the guide)
About the estate:
The estate was founded in the 17th century by a man named François Redde, a winemaker in Pouilly-sur-Loire. His distant descendant, Michel Redde, revived the winery in the 1950s. Today, his son Thierry and his grandsons Sébastien and Romain run the 40-hectare estate, which is in the process of converting to organic farming.

Rated estate (2026 guide) 1*Star (Up-and-coming stars or quality winemakers producing wines of a high standard—you won’t be disappointed when you taste the wines from these estates)
About the estate:
This historic estate—one of the few to grow Chasselas—is now run by Thierry Redde’s two sons, Sébastien and Romain. Alongside fairly classic wines that are never treated with enzymes or yeast (such as La Moynerie or the very ripe Majorum), the lineup is organized by terroir, at the initiative of the new generation: Les Bois de Saint-Andelain (red flint-rich clay), Les Cornets (Kimmeridgian marl), Champs des Billons (Portlandian limestone), Barre à Mine (high-density vines planted with a crowbar in a former flint quarry), and, most recently, Les Toupées (Oxfordian limestone). The latest vintages are crafted with meticulous care and undeniable integrity.
