Bettane & Desseauve

(2017 Vintage Notes)
A Cevennes grape variety that had fallen into obscurity after the phylloxera crisis, it has been experiencing an incredible resurgence for several years now. Typically a robust, full-bodied wine meant for aging—one that shouldn’t be tasted until it has aged for at least three years—the Chatus, or Syramuse, is presented here as a fruit-forward, approachable “everyday wine” that allows you to appreciate all the nuances of the grape variety and the terroir. Let yourself be tempted by this original and exclusive varietal wine and its delicious flavor!
