Bettane & Desseauve

Rated estate (2022 guide): 3* Stars (High-quality production that serves as a benchmark in its sector)

About the estate:

Located at the foot of the hillside south of the village, the 27-hectare vineyard—a single contiguous plot—rests on ancient sandy soil with a deep clay subsoil. Cultivated without chemical fertilizers or herbicides, and now advised by Hubert de Boüard, the estate has retained its unforced, natural style, but the wines still lack a bit of body and complexity overall to rival the best.

Guide Hachette des vins

Rated estate (2022 guide) Award-winning wines (This producer's wines regularly receive awards from the guide)

About the estate:

A descendant of a family with a history in winemaking dating back to 1610, Georges Gurchy founded the estate in 1882. His descendants, the Meslin family, are still at the helm: Guy succeeded his father, Georges, as head of the estate in 1990. Classified since 1955, the estate boasts a substantial vineyard covering 27 hectares on clay-sand soils, west of Saint-Émilion.

Rated Estate (2022 Guide) Selected (Please note that this guide is a ranking, and as such, all the estates listed here—even those without a star—represent, in our view, the excellence of French winemaking.)

About the estate:

Consistently rated since 1955, the estate—founded in 1882 by the family of Guy Meslin, the current owner—is recognized as one of Saint-Émilion’s safest bets. It makes the most of its hillside terroir, which is largely sandy. While some recent vintages have a one-dimensional character—rich but lacking nuance—the very latest ones show clear improvement. Full-bodied, approachable, and subtle, they will express themselves early on in the pleasant style for which the terroir is well-suited.
