17,5/20
Bettane & Desseauve
“ “Mineral purity and a rich body give this wine—with notes of yellow fruit, pollen, and smoke—a delicious balance and just the right amount of tension.” (Le Guide Bettane & Desseauve des Vins de France 2014). A Quarts-de-Chaume distinguished by its balance of botrytization and minerality, as well as by the precision and freshness of its structure... A great wine!

Wine rated (2014 guide) 17,5/20 (Reference wine)
Rated 2 stars (A solid, recommendable production, though slightly more conventional and uniform than the previous one)
About the wine:
Its mineral purity and rich body give this wine—with notes of yellow fruit, pollen, and smoke—a delicious balance and just the right amount of structure.
About the estate:
This 45-hectare vineyard, 80% of which is planted with Chenin, produces a wide range of white wines. René handles the winemaking, while his older brother Christophe tends the vines. They aren’t organic, to be sure, but the soil is worked “their own way.” In the cellar, the same meticulous care prevails, with a variety of vats of all kinds (stainless steel, cement, cylindrical, buried, 30-hectoliter wooden vats by Stockinger...), suited to crafting nuanced and complex wines. The sweet wines are the estate’s greatest strength, as is the Savennières series (13 hectares), impeccably balanced.

Rated Estate Award-winning Wines (This producer's wines are regularly recognized by the guide)
About the estate:
This 46-hectare estate, formed by the merger of two family-run vineyards, has been managed by René Papin since 2010. It is particularly renowned for the quality of its white wines, both dry and sweet. A must-visit.

A mineral wine with hints of honey—very good.
