Bettane & Desseauve
Wine rated (2019 guide) 14,5/20 (Good wine)
Rated estate (2020 guide): 2 stars (A solid, recommendable wine, though slightly more consistent and uniform than the previous vintage)
About the estate:
Located on the Séoules hill, on the outskirts of Nice at an altitude of nearly 300 meters, the terraced vineyard benefits from sea mist that tempers the summer heat. After producing 47 vintages and establishing the reputation and renown of the Bellet appellation, Ghislain de Charnacé sold his 12-hectare vineyard in 2014 to the real estate management company La Française REM (which owns other vineyards). Considerable resources have been invested in restructuring the vineyard, under the leadership, since the summer of 2018, of Jean de Laître, a talented master winemaker also active in the Bordeaux region. An ultra-functional winery at the foot of the old chapel now allows for winemaking that is as closely tied to the terroir as possible. A new style is emerging, with a reorganization of the portfolio into three tiers (entry-level wines, terroir wines, and exceptional “agnès” cuvées), promising a bright future for this historic estate. The latest vintages demonstrate this positive shift.

An exceptional and unique wine unlike anything you've ever tasted. Very pleasant, with a lovely aroma and an inimitable flavor thanks to a very distinctive grape variety.

Too much alcohol, too round—lacks freshness and fruitiness. A disappointment, but it will suit those who like to add an ice cube.

Review by Mr. DIDIER P. Published on July 20, 2018
A surprising wine. Fruity and peppery on the nose. A disconcerting bitterness, with a tight, gripping palate featuring grapefruit notes. Good length. Perfect in the summer with cold appetizers, or hot or cold fish. Pairs well with white meat, but not red meat. Out of the ordinary—I’ll definitely buy it again.
