Bettane & Desseauve
Wine rated (2026 guide) 94-95/100
Rated estate (2020 guide): 3 stars (High-quality production, setting the standard in its sector)
About the wine:
A rich bouquet of red fruit, sweet spices, wisteria, and flint. Its full-bodied palate, fine tannins, and lively finish combine to create a distinguished wine.
About the estate:
This magnificent estate on the outskirts of Bordeaux has managed to preserve, in addition to its 55-hectare vineyard, a large expanse of forests and meadows. In the early 2000s, the Bethmann family undertook major renovations and entrusted the management of the estate to Laurent Lebrun. His meticulous approach and keen analysis of the terroir have led to a significant leap in the quality of the wines. The white wine, which traditionally contains a significant proportion of Sémillon, has become complex and elegant, with a well-defined personality; the 2017 vintage truly impressed us. The reds, now vinified to a much higher standard, express their excellent terroir with greater precision; they are expressive and energetic.

About the estate:
RVF - La Revue du Vin de France / Guide des Meilleurs Vins de France
Rated estate (2020 guide) 1*Star (Up-and-coming stars or quality winemakers producing wines of a high standard—you won’t be disappointed when you taste the wines from these estates)
About the estate:
In just ten years, this Graves classified growth has undergone one of the appellation’s most significant transformations. Under the leadership of Laurent Lebrun, the wines have reached an excellent standard, and the commitment of Alexandre de Bethmann, the owner, is undeniable. He has invested significant financial resources to restructure the vineyard. It must be said that this property is absolutely magnificent! Nestled in the middle of a wooded area, it sits on a gravel terroir atop a splendid, well-ventilated hilltop, ideal for producing exceptional Cabernet Sauvignon. The most recent vintages bear witness to this new momentum.

About the wine:
Deep purple in color with violet highlights and a black core. The nose is initially closed, slowly opening to reveal aromas of ripe fruit reminiscent of blackberries, black cherries, and blueberries. In the background, there are soft spices, subtly toasted oak, notes of coffee and dark chocolate, as well as a hint of vanilla and subtle oak. On the palate, a balanced and harmonious structure with ripe, juicy fruit, well-integrated tannins, and a very impressive finish.
