WHAT THE EXPERTS SAY...
BETTANE & DESSEAUVE
“Louis-Benoît et Claude-Emmanuelle Desvignes are worthy heirs to the eponymous domain. Their young age contrasts sharply with their extensive experience as winemakers, and the recent vintages serve only to confirm the great maturity of style realized by this mighty partnership. […] The result is unequivocal and unanimous: the Desvignes are making exceptional wine and have established themselves as the flagship domain of the Beaujolais.
LA REVUE DU VIN DE FRANCE
“The style of the wines has proven to be uncompromising: their identity and sophistication wholly showcasing the cru’s various terroirs. The soil is tilled. Each parcel is vinified separately, and the sorting of grapes is very strict. Given their traditional vinification and long élevage over the course of two winters, these wines will need time to slowly evolve in the bottle.”
