Bettane & Desseauve

This cuvée embodies the mountain garrigue and expresses the generosity and exuberance of a sun-drenched terroir. Crisp, expressive, and distinctive, blending dark berries, garrigue aromas, and hints of licorice, this wine is both lively and structured, full-bodied and refined, carried by a touch of pleasant freshness. A lovely example of its appellation.

Bettane & Desseauve

Wine rated (2014 guide) 14/20 (Good wine)

Rated Estate (2017 Guide) Selected (An estate or winery that impressed us with one or more of its wines, though we are unable to offer a general assessment of the style of its entire range)

About the wine:

Rich and appealing, with very ripe fruit, woody notes, and hints of garrigue, and a good balance provided by a fresh finish. Good aging potential.

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, very close to Cucugnan. Its 40 hectares are planted with Syrah, Grenache, and Carignan—grape varieties that thrive on this beautiful terroir. The vineyard’s high elevation helps preserve great aromatic complexity and a lovely freshness.
