Bettane & Desseauve
Wine rated (2020 guide) 93/100
Rated estate (2017 guide) 2 stars (A serious and recommendable production, but a little more consistent and uniform than the previous one)
About wine:
The most complete in terms of balance between body, bouquet, and tannins ever produced by the vintage at this stage. A must-buy for its astonishing value for money and aging potential worthy of the very best classified growths.
About the estate:
Since the Mommeja family (Hermès) bought the estate in 2006, brothers Laurent and Renaud have undertaken major renovation work, starting with the technical facilities, vats, and cellars, while also restructuring the vineyard. Technical director Caroline Artaud has improved the wines with the help of renowned oenologist Éric Boissenot.

Rated estate (2017 guide) 1*Star (Up-and-coming stars or quality winemakers producing good wines; you won't be disappointed when tasting the wines from these estates)
About the estate:
The spectacular progress made by this Listrac estate since its acquisition by the Momméja family (Hermès) has made it one of the appellation's benchmarks. Renaud and his brother Laurent Momméja spare no effort to allow the wine to express itself fully. The vineyard has been completely overhauled and state-of-the-art winemaking facilities have been built. Excellent value for money that is not to be missed.
James Suckling
Wine rated (2022 guide) 93/100
About wine:
Very attractive nose of plum, spices, and dried flowers, followed by a medium body with creamy, refined tannins. Nice acidity on the finish. It just needs a few years to develop and deliver a beautiful glass.

About wine:
A clear and inviting nose of blue fruits. Pure and straightforward on the palate, with lovely fruit, notes of raspberry and fresh wood. The finish could be more persistent.

Anthocyanes - Yohan Castaing
Wine rated (2020 guide) 92/100
About wine:
Very beautiful aromatic nose, fine and delicate, black fruits, blackcurrant, flowers, brightness, sparkle. Full-bodied on the palate, straightforward, perfectly taut with very beautiful tannins and a long finish. The brightness of the nose is also evident on the palate. A very fine achievement. An estate that is becoming a benchmark in the appellation.
