Bettane & Desseauve
Winery rated 1 star (A high-quality, recommended wine that lives up to what one would expect from its appellation(s))
About the estate:
In the heart of the Ardèche region, Benoît Chazallon and his wife Florence cultivate forty hectares of vineyards using organic farming methods. The estate grows a wide variety of grape varieties, all vinified using native yeasts, to produce several cuvées that are bottled unfiltered. We particularly enjoyed the wines from the Les Confidentielles range (Florence, L'Audacieuse, and Madame de), made exclusively from southern grape varieties.

About the estate:
The medieval castle of La Selve began as a fortified house in the 13th century, then served as a hunting lodge for the Duke of Joyeuse, before becoming a winery (now 40 hectares, certified organic). Benoît Chazallon has been at the helm since 2002, taking over from his parents.

About the estate:
On their vineyard in Vivarais—which they have completely renovated themselves—surrounding their family’s 13th-century fortified castle, Florence and Benoît Chazallon are passionately dedicated to producing French wines that proudly represent the Ardèche hillsides. The range is divided into two categories: Les Classiques, which are approachable and fruit-forward, and Les Confidentielles, more ambitious and structured red cuvées. La Revue du Vin de France named Château de la Selve its “Discovery of the Year” in 2012.
