Bettane & Desseauve
Wine rated (2020 guide) 15,5/20 (Very good wine)
Rated estate (2021 guide): 3*Stars (High-quality production that serves as a benchmark in its sector)
About the wine:
With the subtle hint of acidity typical of this grape variety, this Persan—bursting with ripe wild berries—offers the silky, velvety, and tangy texture of crème fraîche. Original and alluring!
About the estate:
Jean-François Quénard took over from his father in 1987, and the original five hectares have been expanded through lease agreements to reach 17.5 hectares today, ten of which have been farmed organically for the past six years (which should soon lead to certification for the reds). The whites are elegant, mineral, pure, and delightfully consistent. They boast ideal ripeness—without excess—and great finesse. The reds are full-bodied and generous; they should be decanted or allowed to age. The rest of the lineup is of the same caliber, consistently offering good texture and fullness on the palate. The quality is exemplary and continues to improve. The newly introduced crémant stands out in its category. A sure bet!
RVF - La Revue du Vin de France / Guide des Meilleurs Vins de France
Wine rated (2020 guide) 15,5/20 (Good wine)
Rated Estate (2024 Guide) 1*Star (Up-and-coming stars or high-quality winemakers producing wines of a high standard—you won’t be disappointed when you taste the wines from these estates)
About the wine:
A distinctive wine with notes of blackberry and chocolate, captivating for its vibrancy.
About the estate:
There are many people with the surnames Quenard and Quénard in the village of Chignin, but Jean-François stands out. We commend the quality of his work and the consistency of his extensive lineup, which is refined each year with subtle touches and serves as a benchmark in Savoy’s ever-evolving wine landscape. The reds have improved significantly and are now of a very high standard. Rich in character and vinified using only native yeasts, the whites maintain a perfect balance on the palate. Looking toward the future, Jean-François Quénard has restructured his vineyard, which is currently in the process of obtaining organic certification. The estate has been officially passed on to his daughter Anne-Sophie, who studied in Beaune and Changins. Her first name now appears on the cellar and on the labels.
