Bettane & Desseauve
Rated estate (2021 guide): 5*Stars (Exceptional producers who represent the absolute pinnacle of quality in France and around the world)
About the estate:
The estate belonged to the Charmolüe family (now based in Provence, at Château Romanin) for over a century. Acquired in 2005 by Martin and Olivier Bouygues, the estate has continued on its path to excellence. The new owners and their teams have taken care not to alter the style, but rather to refine viticulture and winemaking to adapt them to the ecological and cultural demands of our time. The second wine, Dame-de-Montrose—produced in significant quantities—has improved in consistency and in its expression of the terroir. The most recent vintages, among the finest in the Médoc, more than hold their own against the First Growths.

RVF - La Revue du Vin de France / Guide des Meilleurs Vins de France
Rated Estate (2021 Guide) 2*Stars (These exceptional estates, often boasting fabulous terroirs, are must-haves that, thanks to the consistency and excellence of their wines, deserve a place in the cellars of discerning wine lovers)
About the estate:
Entrepreneurs Martin and Olivier Bouygues have owned this famous cru classé since 2006. They masterfully cultivate one of the Médoc’s finest terroirs, which has repeatedly distinguished itself in the past by producing wines that can match—or even surpass—the quality of the premiers grands crus classés. In hot, dry years—such as 2003, 2009, 2010, or even 2011—Montrose offers exceptional distinction. Hervé Berland, who now manages the estate, is elevating it to a level of definition and precision never before seen here. It is approaching a third star.
