Bettane & Desseauve

"A delicately fruity and floral nose, supple and tender on the palate, very aromatic, with fine tannins and freshness. Elegant and balanced. " (Le Guide Bettane & Desseauve des Vins de France 2016). A Corbières with a silky attack, developing well-structured, discreet tannins and a lovely freshness that carries the aromatic expression well... The archetype of a great bottle!

Rated estate (2017 guide) Selected (An estate or winery that impressed us with one or more of its wines, but where we are unable to give an overall opinion on the style of the entire range)

About wine:

Delicately fruity and floral nose, supple, tender, very aromatic palate, with fine tannins and freshness. Elegant and balanced.

About the estate:

Acquired by the Sichel family nearly 20 years ago, Château Trillol is beautifully situated in the foothills of the Pyrenees, at an altitude of 400 meters, close to Cucugnan. Forty hectares are planted with Syrah, Grenache, and Carignan, grape varieties that thrive in this beautiful terroir. The high altitude of the vineyard allows the wines to retain great aromatic complexity and lovely freshness.

Wine rated (2014 guide) 88/100

About wine:

Deep, violet color. Elegant, heady nose with hints of stone fruit, garrigue, and black olive. Welcoming, warm palate with lovely notes of spice and sun-ripened fruit. Enjoy with roasted or braised game. A real success.
