Bettane & Desseauve

"The ambitious aging on lees and partly in barrels adds an extra dimension, while preserving the estate’s signature minerality. On the nose, honey, beeswax, and citrus zest with a hint of pineapple; on the palate, a soft and generous texture, with spice and ginger emerging in the mid-palate. A beautiful wine, expertly crafted with a long, delicate finish.” (The Bettane & Desseauve Guide to French Wines 2017)

About the wine:

The ambitious aging on lees and partly in barrels adds an extra dimension, while preserving the wine’s minerality—the estate’s signature trait. On the nose, honey, beeswax, and citrus zest with a hint of pineapple; on the palate, a soft and generous texture, with spice and ginger emerging in the mid-palate. A beautiful wine, expertly crafted with a long, delicate finish.
