Bettane & Desseauve
Rated estate (2018 guide): 2 stars (A solid, recommendable wine, though slightly more consistent and uniform than the previous vintage)
About the estate:
This historic estate owes much to the discipline and tenacity of the two Duclaux brothers, who practice impeccable viticulture on the finest hillsides in the southern part of the appellation. The two Côte-Rôties they produce are refined and elegant, bearing the distinctive character of the granite-rich terroirs in the southern part of the appellation.
Guide Hachette des vins
Rated estate (2018 guide) Award-winning wines (This producer’s wines are regularly recognized by the guide)
About the estate:
On their 6-hectare estate, founded by their great-grandfather in 1928, the Duclaux brothers focus exclusively on the Côte-Rôtie appellation (two vintages, La Germine and Maison Rouge) and have no intention of producing wines from other AOCs. Their vineyard, located in the southern part of the appellation on gneiss soil, covers the steep slopes of Tupin-et-Semons.

RVF - La Revue du Vin de France / Guide des Meilleurs Vins de France
Wine rated (2017 guide) 15/20 (Good wine)
Rated estate (2018 guide) 2*Stars (These exceptional estates, often boasting fabulous terroirs, are must-haves that, thanks to their consistency and the 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, with the wine offering unrestrained fruit and an elegant structure.
About the estate:
Domaine Duclaux is a long-established estate, founded in 1928. David and Benjamin have continued to expand it over the years. They produced their first Condrieu in 2014, named Les Caillets, in honor of their great-grandfather Frédéric Caillet, the estate’s founder. The La Chana cuvée reveals a fruity style with subtle extract. We love the estate’s wines, which beautifully reflect the elegance and finesse of the gneiss soils in the southern part of the Côte Rôtie appellation. Also noteworthy is the perfect mastery of aging: the oak notes are always well-integrated.
