“The wine has a ruby color. The nose features red fruit (redcurrant, blackcurrant buds) and subtle oak notes. The attack is silky, with a balanced and full mid-palate. The finish is smooth, moderately long, and free of bitterness.” (La Croix du Casse Estate 2019)

Bettane & Desseauve
Rated 2 stars (A solid, recommendable production, though slightly more conventional and uniform than the previous one)
About the estate:
This estate, owned by Philippe Casteja, is one of Pomerol’s great classics. It receives the same meticulous care as its “big brother,” Château Domaine de l’Église. The wines age with elegance and classic style. The most recent vintages are of a high standard. We recommend it for its reliability and excellent value for money.

Rated estate (2020 guide) 1*Star (Very successful wine)
About the estate:
Grown on sandy-gravelly soil and composed of 93% Merlot and a touch of Cabernet Franc, this superb 2016 vintage, with its deep color accented by violet hues, offers an intense nose of candied fruit, spices, and toasted notes. The palate, full-bodied and persistent, also centered on spicy fruit, reveals a velvety texture, structured by rich tannins that promise a promising aging potential.

About the estate:
The estate produces a smooth, very flavorful Pomerol with a strong truffle aroma reminiscent of Clinet, at a much more affordable price. Its vineyard, situated on sandy-gravel soils, is excellent.
