"A complete, ambitious and masterful set! ~ Guide Hachette "
"This broad, complex white, aged in new barrels, displays its ambitions around aromas of citrus and exotic fruit with a touch of honey and a lovely woodiness. The palate is full, dense and intense, with a long, fresh, sapid finish. A complete, ambitious wine of great mastery". (Guide Hachette 2026)

Bettane & Desseauve
Domaine rated 2*Stars (A serious and recommendable production, but a little more regular and homogeneous than the previous one)
About the domain :
The 67 hectares of vines on this family estate overlook the Gironde estuary, just opposite the most prestigious Margaux crus. Concerned with revealing the potential of these magnificent terroirs while respecting the environment, Dominique Raimond uses every means of cultivation and vinification to achieve the production of a great Blayais wine. The whites are generally highly aromatic, with good tension and just the right balance of freshness. The Côtes-de-Bourg Cuvée Altus is always top-notch, as is the Grand Vin en Blaye-Côtes-de-Bordeaux. A flagship property in both appellations. Montfollet is a member of the Châteaux Solidaires association, which groups together ten Blayais winegrowers who retain their own identity while sharing cellars and working tools in a cooperative spirit. Château Haut-Prieur, part of this association, is superb in the 2016 vintage.

About the domain :
Ch. Montfollet, one of the spearheads of the Blayais and Bourgeais regions, has been run since 1991 by Dominique Raimond, who also owns several other châteaux: Haut Lalande, Graulet, Merigot, Haut Grela and Puy d'Amour. Dominique Raimond is a member of the Cars cooperative (1937), renamed "Châteaux solidaires" in 2011, which vinifies separately the harvests of ten or so rigorously selected member châteaux.
