"The 2014 vintage sees the arrival of La Chana, made from young vines. This new addition is a success, with the wine offering unrestrained fruit and an elegant structure." (Le Guide des Meilleurs Vins de France 2018 - RVF)

Bettane & Desseauve
Rated estate (2018 guide) 2 stars (A serious and recommendable production, but a little more consistent and uniform than the previous one)
About the estate:
This traditional estate owes much to the discipline and tenacity of the two Duclaux brothers, who practice impeccable viticulture on the best hillsides in the southern part of the appellation. The two Côte-Rôtie wines produced here are refined and stylish, bearing the distinctive mark of the granite terroirs in the southern part of the appellation.

Rated estate (2018 guide) Award-winning wines (This producer's wines are regularly awarded by the guide)
About the estate:
On their 6-hectare estate, founded by their great-grandfather in 1928, the Duclaux brothers devote themselves exclusively to the Côte-Rôtie appellation (two vintages, La Germine and Maison Rouge) and have no desire to produce wines from other AOCs. Their vineyard, located in the south of the appellation on gneiss soil, covers the steep slopes of Tupin-et-Semons.

Wine rated (2017 guide) 15/20 (Good wine)
Rated estate (2018 guide) 2 stars (These very large estates, often blessed with fabulous terroirs, are must-haves which, thanks to their consistency and the excellence of their production, deserve a place in the cellars of discerning wine lovers).
About wine:
The 2014 vintage sees the arrival of La Chana, made from young vines. This new addition is a success, with the wine offering unrestrained fruit and an elegant structure.
About the estate:
The Duclaux estate is an old estate, established in 1928. David and Benjamin have continued to develop it over the years. They produced their first Condrieu in 2014, named Les Caillets, in tribute to their great-grandfather Frédéric Caillet, founder of the estate. The La Chana cuvée reveals a fruity style with good extraction. We love the estate's wines, which reflect the elegance and finesse of the gneiss soils in the southern part of the Côte Rôtie appellation. The perfect mastery of the aging process is also noteworthy: the wood is always well integrated.
