Bettane & Desseauve
Domaine rated (guide 2026) 5*Stars (Exceptional producers, those who represent the absolute pinnacle of quality in France and the world)
About the domain :
Thierry Germain has made his estate a benchmark for biodynamic viticulture and great Loire wines, while successfully passing on his passion to his children Jeanne and Louis, who now work with him. The wines are dense and full of energy, showcasing the magnificent limestone terroirs of the saumur-champigny appellation, particularly the Clos Romans and Clos de L'Echelier parcel cuvées. Low yields give good concentration to the long, silky reds.

Domaine rated (guide 2026) 3*Stars (They represent the excellence of the French vineyard. The best terroirs cultivated by the greatest winemakers. Tasting their wines is always a magical experience)
About the domain :
The charismatic Thierry Germain has defined a singular stylistic approach to Saumur-Champigny and Saumur whites. The extensive work undertaken in the vines (biodynamic, some ploughed with a horse) is evident right from the estate's first cuvée. The latest white vintages reveal a remarkable saline brilliance, getting to the heart of the chalky expression of chenin on tuffeau. They thrill the taste buds and the body! The quest for a crisp, chiselled edge is undeniable in the reds, which can have a ravishing florality. However, we are convinced that they could reveal a more velvety, graceful and ripe balance of Loire Cabernet Franc, in the manner of La Marginale, whose vertical test in April 2024 confirmed its ageing potential.
