Notes: RVF 16.5/20, Gault Millau 16.5/20
“A magnificent bottle—in fact, the best in the estate’s white wine range! The balance on the palate is superb, with remarkable intensity. Freshness is abundant, highlighting fresh apricot, nutty notes, plum, and honey. Rich and dry, it is a truly beautiful wine for fine dining.” (Les Meilleurs Vins de France 2011 - Gault Millau)

Bettane & Desseauve
Rated estate (2023 guide): 3 stars (High-quality production, setting the standard in its sector)
About the estate:
The Magnins are among the most iconic figures in the Savoyard wine region. These two dedicated winemakers, who have been certified organic since 2012, decided to downsize the estate to three hectares starting with the 2018 harvest. While their selection is small, both their white and red wines are truly exquisite.

Rated estate (2023 guide) 1*Star (Up-and-coming stars or quality winemakers producing wines of a high standard—you won’t be disappointed when you taste the wines from these estates)
About the estate:
This artisanal estate has played a pivotal role in the contemporary history of the Savoyard vineyards. Although the vineyard area has shrunk, Louis Magnin’s meticulous work—both in the vineyard and in the cellar—enables him to achieve exceptional expression in both reds and whites. A perfectionist, he demonstrates a consistency across his various vintages that few producers in this region can match. Less opulent than in the past, the whites emphasize mineral intensity. Among the Mondeuses—flamboyant yet meant for aging—we continue to prefer (often, though not this year!) the vintages aged in tanks over those aged in barrels.

Review by Mr. CHRISTOPHE R. Published on 10/26/2012
After 2 hours in a decanter, it opens with notes of pear and peach. Dry and taut, it remains focused on fruit and white flowers, with good minerality. A lovely discovery
