Bettane & Desseauve
"A Mondeuse to die for! With all the distinction of a great wine, it takes advantage of an exceptional vintage to unfurl its bewitching floral bouquet. Limpid, racy and silky, the palate unfolds with finesse and notes of wilted rose. Incredibly digestible. (Le Guide des Vins Bettane & Desseauve 2020) An expressive, ripe 2018 vintage that further sublimates this Mondeuse. Worthy of a great wine!

Deep color, dark garnet with violet highlights
Nose
Highlighted by an empyreumatic trait, the nose reveals a flattering expression of agrarian style, where fresh fruit is accompanied by spicy, country notes: laurel, pepper, cocoa, pepper, grape and sap.
Mouth
The result of delicate vinification, it harmoniously expresses pulpy fruit enhanced by peppery and floral touches. A wine that has already won over many top critics.

About the domain :
Gilles and Christine founded their estate in 1990. It grew steadily in the 1990s and was certified organic in 2002. A disciple of Michel Grisard, Gilles introduced biodynamic viticulture and obtained Demeter certification in 2018. The domaine is run like a cooperative, with everyone assigned to do a good job and make good wine. Four principles: no subsidies, soils worked with animal traction, everything done by hand, everyone well paid. Typically natural wines, more ethereal than ostentatious, with cuvées featuring emblematic labels.

About the wine:
The fruit is beautifully crisp, but shows a hint of the vintage's candied flavors.
About the domain :
The son of a factory worker, Gilles Berlioz is a happy, self-taught winegrower. Trained as a landscaper, he started out in 1990 with 0.8 hectares in the Chignin area, helped by his partner Christine. Today, he has 6.5 hectares, ploughed by horse and converted to organic farming in 2005, then to biodynamic viticulture in 2020. Anthroposophy is at the heart of the estate. Gilles Berlioz must be the only winemaker in our guide who makes decisions in the vineyard or cellar with his employees, and who shares his workforce with two other estates... Hence the rather unique term "shared estate". Of the three children, Jeanne, the youngest, is about to take over the reins. From the simple Chignin to the Mondeuse, not forgetting the exceptional Chignin-Bergon vinified in parcel selections, all the wines offer expressions of striking depth of flavor. Aging is biblically simple, with no wood. Savvy connoisseurs are snapping up these goldsmith's wines, which are very limited in volume. A warm welcome at the domaine. An indispensable address that has shown the way for an entire region and a whole generation.
