Bettane & Desseauve
Rated Estate (2019 Guide) Selected (An estate or winery that impressed us with one or more of its wines, though we are unable to offer a general assessment of the style of its entire range)
About the estate:
This estate was founded by the Wallut family in 1990, when they decided to plant Viognier around their vacation home. The vineyards are located at an altitude of between 400 and 600 meters, which lends freshness and elegance to the estate’s wines. The 13 hectares of small plots are situated on hillsides, facing southeast and swept by the mistral, on marl and limestone soils. Half of the estate’s production consists of white wines, almost entirely made from the Viognier grape variety, which, thanks to the altitude, produces delicate and floral wines. The reds also feature full-bodied and floral bouquets.
Guide Hachette des vins
Wine rated (2015 guide) 2** stars (Outstanding wine)
About the wine:
This estate, founded in 1992 by Nathalie and Jacques Wallut—a retired business executive—features 13 hectares of terraced vineyards at altitudes ranging from 400 to 600 meters on the slopes of Mont Saint-Amant. Fruit, fruit, and more fruit characterize this “youthful” cuvée—crisp, fresh, and lingering—designed for lovers of indulgent wines.
