"Perfect balance, lively acidity, and remarkable texture. It’s undoubtedly excellent value for the money! ~ Wine Advocate"
“A superb bouquet that shines with its complexity, featuring notes of toasted almonds, hazelnuts, pineapple, and peaches. Dense and rich on the palate, the wine is linear and powerful. It stands out for its balanced and elegant character, set against a backdrop of vigor. An exceptional wine with a seemingly endless finish. It has a long future ahead of it, but there’s no reason not to enjoy it while it’s still young—it’s absolutely delicious!” (Yves Beck 2023)

Bettane & Desseauve
Rated estate (2015 guide): 2*Stars (A serious and recommendable wine, though slightly more consistent and uniform than the previous one)
About the estate:
The two brothers, Hervé and Patrick Lamothe—who also produce Graves wines—run this very low-key but highly recommended family estate. The vineyard spans the appellation’s four communes, comprising a mosaic of 80 different plots, some of which are home to vines over 100 years old.

Wine rated (2025 guide) 2*Stars (Outstanding Wine)
Rated Estate (2015 Guide) Award-Winning Wines (This producer’s wines regularly receive awards from the guide)
About the wine:
This rich and indulgent 2022 vintage was aged for 18 months in barrels (50% new oak) and is made from 85% Sémillon grapes grown on old vines (60 years old). Subtle and fresh on the nose, with aromas of yellow fruit, flowers, and candied citrus, the wine opens up to a rich, smooth palate with subtle notes of vanilla, but above all, crisp fruit (apricot, exotic fruit). The fresh, peppery, and briny finish brings the tasting experience to a masterful close. 2026–2038

Wine rated (2026 guide) 94/100
About the wine:
Rich yet not lacking in elegance and remarkably pure, the 2022 vintage is still a bit "closed," with a viscous texture that takes precedence over its aromatic expression.

About the wine:
Golden color. A rich and complex nose evoking ripe apricot, pineapple, and Montélimar nougat, with hints of roasted peanuts and honey in the background. Enhanced by subtle floral notes and a delicate hint of spice. On the palate, it is opulent, with a distinct sweetness and a character typical of botrytis. It has excellent length.
