" An authentic wine for aging, this 2011 vintage reveals an intense and generous bouquet of ripe black fruits. The palate is also powerful, full-bodied, very concentrated, and smooth, supported by a solid tannic structure. Definitely worth waiting for." (Le Guide Hachette des Vins 2015) Delivery in wooden cases for orders of 6 bottles of this wine.

Bettane & Desseauve
Rated estate (2022 guide) 3 stars (High-quality production, serving as a benchmark in its sector)
About the estate:
Immediately adjacent to Giscours and Siran in terms of vineyard location, this fifth growth classified in 1855 had belonged to MAIF since 1988, which sold it in early 2019 to the Breton group Samsic, headed by Christian Roulleau. The remarkable technical team remains in place around Philippe Roux and Laurent Fortin, setting an example in many areas. They have made significant efforts to renovate the premises with great respect for the environment and to modernize the technical buildings, complemented by a level of viticulture and winemaking that we would like to see more often. The latest vintages have produced well-rounded wines, praised by critics: a powerful and harmonious grand vin and two second wines, Aurore, similar in style to the first, and La Bastide, which is more supple.

About the estate:
After its glory days in the 19th century, this wine fell into decline in the first half of the 20th century, before being revived by the Miailhe family from Siran, the Châtelier family from Champagne, and finally, in 1989, by MAIF, which entrusted its management to André Lurton in 1992. Lurton's daughter, Christine Lurton Bazin de Caix, ran the estate between 2005 and 2013. Laurent Fortin replaced her and in 2014, André Lurton sold his stake to MAIF. The vineyard covers 45 hectares in a single block.

Wine rating (2015 guide) 17.5/20 (Outstanding)
About wine:
A magnificent bottle, perfectly in line with what we tasted during the en primeur season. Today (January 2014), it retains its superb qualities, with power without heaviness, precision and charm, and delicious, flavorful, and delicately spicy tannins.

Rated estate (2022 guide) 1*Star (Up-and-coming stars or quality winemakers producing good-quality wines; you won't be disappointed when tasting the wines from these estates)
About the estate:
The estate has been firmly in the running for several vintages now. Laurent Fortin, director of the estate since 2014, has been multiplying initiatives and experiments and expanding the range. He has given new impetus to the estate, which can now be classified as a sure bet. Now in the hands of the Roulleau family, the estate should continue to progress, with very advanced thinking on vine cultivation.
