Bettane & Desseauve

"A blend of Grenache (60%) and Syrah (40%), Châteauneuf du Pape Memora 2015 is aged in oak barrels and concrete vats. This wine is not particularly powerful, but rather charming and refined, offering aromas of ripe cherries, silky tannins, and hints of spice." (Wine Advocate 2017 - Robert Parker) Probably one of the best value for money wines in Châteauneuf-du-Pape!

Bettane & Desseauve

Wine rated (2019 guide) 15,5/20 (Very good wine)

Rated estate (2019 guide) 2 stars (A serious and recommendable production, but a little more consistent and uniform than the previous one)

About the estate:

The location of the vineyards is exceptional, on the sands of Pignan and Rayas, with Côtes-du-Rhône bordering this highly prestigious area of Châteauneuf. Excellent viticulture and precise winemaking in a rented vat room in the heart of the village. It remains for this young and talented winemaker to confirm his talent in future vintages. The 2016 white is superb in its finesse and precision. As for the 2015 reds, they are a success. The Memora cuvée, with its infused style, exudes great purity. Meanwhile, the Montplaisir cuvée displays a superior ambition that places it among the bottles to remember in 2015. A domaine to watch closely.

About the estate:

Paul Masquin acquired vineyards in Courthézon in 1936, which he leased out. In 1998, his grandson Julien took over the estate, taking the grapes to the local cooperative, which he left in 2009 to produce his own wines. The vineyard now covers 22 hectares.
