Bettane & Desseauve

(2016 Vintage Notes)
Inspired by the angels in the Chapel of Château d'Esclans, the Whispering Angel cuvée is the result of a partnership with hand-selected neighboring winemakers who provide the highest-quality grapes. It has a beautiful texture, fragrant with aromas of white peach and exotic fruits (mango), and carried by a mineral backbone.

Bettane & Desseauve

Bettane & Desseauve

Wine rated 14.5/20 (2016 vintage) (Good wine)

Rated estate (2018 guide): 2*Stars (A solid, recommendable wine, though slightly more consistent and uniform than the previous vintage)

About the estate:

Since 2006, this estate has been owned by Sacha Lichine, the former owner of Château Prieuré-Lichine in Margaux. He has taken a hands-on approach to winemaking, working with Patrick Léon (formerly of Mouton-Rothschild) to produce wines of great precision. Their Garrus cuvée is likely the most expensive Provence rosé on the market.

Rated estate (2018 guide) Award-winning wines (This producer's wines regularly receive awards from the guide)

About the estate:

A renowned match manufacturer in Marseille during the 1850s, Joseph Toussaint Caussemille was one of the many owners of Château d’Esclans and lent his name to this estate, which is centered around a 19th-century building inspired by Tuscan villas and built on the ruins of a medieval castle. Sacha Lichine, son of the late Alexis Lichine, former owner of Château Prieuré-Lichine, took over this 267-hectare estate (including 44 hectares of vineyards) in 2006; it is renowned for its oak-aged rosés.
