Bettane & Desseauve
Domaine rated (guide 2021) 1*Star (A serious, recommendable production, in line with what one has the right to expect from its appellation(s))
About the domain :
Just off the Moulis train station, the architecture of Château Maucaillou is quite unusual, combining Renaissance and 18th-century styles. Owned by the Dourthe family since 1929, it was Pascal who, with the help of his two sisters Magali and Caroline, took over the reins in 2007, continuing the work begun by their father Philippe. Since the 2009 vintage, Magali has changed the style of the wines, which are now more suave and modern than in the past, while remaining vigorous and ageable.

Domaine noté (guide 2020) Award-winning wines (The wines of this producer are regularly awarded by the guide)
About the domain :
A flagship cru of Moulis, founded in 1875 on the Caubet and Maucaillou "bad rock" parcels, a gravelly hillside unsuitable for growing cereals for the peasants of the Middle Ages, but ideal for vines. Owned by the Dourthe family since 1929, the estate has grown from 3.5 ha to 90 ha. Philippe Dourthe, the current owner, has entrusted its management to his three children.
