Clos Marie - Les Métairies du Clos 2010
Métairies du Clos is the estate’s flagship white wine, opening with slightly tart notes of yellow fruit. A blend of White Carignan, Clairette, and Rolle, it is rich, intense, and round on the palate; thanks to its aging, it exudes elegance without heaviness, displaying great finesse. A must-try!

Bettane & Desseauve
Rated estate (2026 guide) 3*Stars (High-quality production, setting the standard in its sector)
About the estate:
This flagship estate of Pic Saint-Loup has been masterfully managed by Christophe Peyrus since 1995. A leading figure in the appellation, the winemaker cultivates 22 hectares. Praised for their intensity, finesse, body, and distinction, the estate’s wines are not, however, universally loved, as some enthusiasts are put off by the acidity resulting from the winemaker’s choice to provide minimal protection for the wines. While we do not endorse this divisive characteristic, we champion Clos Marie for its unique tannic finesse and the delicacy of its flavors. We tasted magnificent 2018 vintages and a magnificent 2019 from the entry-level line, L’Olivette. Let us hope that all these virtues are preserved in the bottlings.

Rated estate (2026 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:
Since settling in the Pic Saint-Loup region in 1995, Christophe Peyrus and Françoise Julien have carried out a steady stream of experiments—essential for grasping all the nuances of their terroirs. The work done in the vineyard, the high-quality vine stock, and a higher planting density have all contributed to enhancing the finesse of the estate’s wines. The significance of the sites and plots sets the tone. To understand this, one need only visit the beautiful Simon plot—stony terraces situated in a fault line, planted in 2002. The entire range, coherent and complementary, places this estate among the elite of the sector; distinctive aromatic nuances now enrich the Simon and Les Glorieuses cuvées, which possess the aging potential and profile of the great Rhône wines, without imitating them.
