Bettane & Desseauve
Rated estate (2022 guide): 3*Stars (High-quality production that serves as a benchmark in its sector)
About the estate:
With its vineyards located right next to those of Giscours and Siran, this fifth growth—classified in 1855—had been owned by MAIF since 1988, which sold it in early 2019 to the Breton group Samsic, led by Christian Roulleau. The remarkable technical team remains in place under the leadership of Philippe Roux and Laurent Fortin, setting an example in many ways; they have undertaken significant efforts to renovate the estate with great respect for the environment and to modernize the technical facilities, complemented by a level of viticulture and winemaking that one would like to encounter more often. The most recent vintages have produced well-rounded wines that have been praised by critics: a powerful and harmonious premier vin, and two seconds—Aurore, which is similar in style to the premier vin, and La-Bastide, which is more supple.

Rated Estate (2021 Guide) Award-Winning Wines (This producer's wines regularly receive awards from the guide)
About the estate:
After a glorious period in the 19th century, this estate fell into decline during the first half of the 20th century, before being revived thanks to the Miailhe family, who came from Siran; the Châtelier family, who arrived from Champagne; and finally, in 1989, MAIF, which entrusted management to André Lurton in 1992. Lurton’s daughter, Christine Lurton Bazin de Caix, managed the estate from 2005 to 2013. Laurent Fortin succeeded her, and in 2014, André Lurton sold his stake to MAIF. The vineyard comprises 45 hectares in a single block.
