Bettane & Desseauve
Rated estate (2026 guide): 3*Stars (High-quality production that serves as a benchmark in its sector)
About the estate:
The two brothers, Benjamin and David Duclaux, cultivate their small vineyard in the southern part of the Côte-Rôtie appellation, where gneiss (and even granite on the border with Condrieu) replaces schist in the geological composition of the subsoil. Their wines offer more pronounced aromas of red fruit than those from other sectors, but the concentration of their two flagship wines (Maison Rouge and Coteaux de Tupin) truly shines in great vintages. The barrel aging is more refined than in the past, though there is still room for improvement in this area, particularly regarding the selection of barrels.

Rated estate (2026 guide) Award-winning wines (This producer’s wines regularly receive awards from the guide)
About the estate:
On their 6-hectare estate, founded by their great-grandfather in 1928, the Duclaux brothers focused exclusively on the Côte-Rôtie appellation (two cuvées, La Germine and Maison Rouge). Since 2014, they have also been producing Condrieu. Their vineyard is located in the southern part of the appellation, on gneiss soil, on the steep slopes of Tupin-et-Semons.

Rated Estate (2026 Guide) 2*Stars (These exceptional estates, often boasting fabulous terroirs, are must-haves that, thanks to the consistency and excellence of their wines, deserve a place in the cellars of discerning wine lovers)
About the wine:
The 2014 vintage marks the debut of La Chana, made from young vines. This new addition has proven to be a success; the wine offers unrestrained fruit and an elegant structure.
About the estate:
The Duclaux estate, founded in 1928, is today one of Côte-Rôtie’s most reliable producers, crafting precise and refined wines without any artificial aging techniques. David and Benjamin are forging their path with consistency and flair. They produced their first Condrieu in 2014, named Les Caillets, in honor of their great-grandfather, Frédéric Caillet, the estate’s founder. The lineup comes highly recommended; the wines age beautifully.
