Bettane & Desseauve
Rated estate (2021 guide) 1*Star (A high-quality, recommendable wine that lives up to what one would expect from its appellation(s))
About the estate:
A consistent, well-balanced Médoc offering excellent value for money, crafted by its unassuming winemaker, Jean-Marc Landureau, since 1989. It boasts a quintessential Médoc style, with a velvety texture that is more about elegance than sheer power. With its 2016 vintage, the estate has produced one of its finest vintages in a long time.
Guide Hachette des vins
Wine noted (guide 2013) 1*Star (Very successful wine)
Rated estate (Guide 202) Award-winning wines (This producer's wines regularly receive awards from the guide)
About the wine:
Regularly featured in the Guide, Jean-Marc Landureau’s wines benefit from a superb terroir: a hill of clay-gravel soil planted with Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon. This 2009 vintage, with its intense garnet color, presents itself in all its glory, before revealing a complex and frank bouquet of morello cherry and fig. Harmonious, silky, and concentrated, the palate is equally impressive and shows undeniable potential that will fully express itself after four or five years of cellaring.
About the estate:
Jean Landureau acquired the property in 1934 and converted it into a stud farm. His son Jean-Michel expanded the vineyard and sold the grapes to the cooperative until the arrival of the third generation and Jean-Marc, who took over in 1990. Following Jean-Marc’s passing, his daughter Anne took over the estate, which maintains consistent quality and has been in the process of converting to biodynamic farming since 2018.
Robert Parker - Wine Advocate
Wine rated (2012 guide) 89/100 (Very good wine)
Estate rated "Recommended" (Wine producer recommended by Robert Parker - The Wine Advocate)
About the wine:
A standout of the vintage, this well-crafted Médoc reveals abundant characteristic notes of cedar, tobacco leaf, and blackcurrant, with silky tannins and a full-bodied, appealing profile. Year after year, d'Escurac has established itself as a major player, and 2009 is no exception. Best enjoyed over the next decade.
