Note: Bettane & Desseauve 14/20
The Viognier grape variety expresses itself with finesse in a dense and smooth register, full of fruit, notes of peach and apricot, with a hint of minerality. A cuvée that is literally mouth-watering ! "Ripe, balanced, fine and frank. Finish with delicious pear aromas. " (Le Grand Guide des Vins de France 2010 - Bettane & Desseauve)

Bettane & Desseauve
Rated estate (2022 guide) 3 stars (High-quality production, serving as a benchmark in its sector)
About the estate:
Laure Colombo, a young and brilliant oenologist, joined the family business in Cornas but wanted to create her own estate on the heights of Saint-Péray to find her feet. This year, she is offering us a Saint-Péray and a Cornas from her Lorient estate. Joining does not mean taking over. Jean-Luc is still there, so the range is being built as a family, between the Côte Bleue and Rhône vineyards, and of course the sourcing activities, sometimes under the Colombo & Fille label, sometimes under Jean-Luc Colombo. The Cornas wines remain the great wines here, and it must be said that the modern, efficient winery is built at the foot of the hillside! In 2017, the delicious Vallon-de-l'Aigle will be rationed, with only two barrels produced!

Review and opinion by Mr. PIERRE S. Published on February 4, 2014
Given the winemaker's reputation, I expected much better. Too flat for a Viognier.
