Château de Lancyre - La Rouvière 2018
15/20
Bettane & Desseauve
"A very fresh white wine, crisp fruit with volume and a delicious menthol finish." (Le Guide des Vins Bettane & Desseauve 2020) A blend of Roussanne (80%) enhanced with Marsanne and Viognier on limestone terroir, giving this Mediterranean white wine an airy dimension. A nose of white flowers and citrus fruits, a rich and generous palate with aromas of citrus fruits and sweet spices, with notes of eucalyptus for freshness. The finish is balanced by a touch of saltiness, giving it a beautiful length. Mediterranean freshness!

Bettane & Desseauve
Wine rated (2020 guide) 15/20 (Very good wine)
Rated estate (2025 guide) 2 stars (A serious and recommendable production, but a little more consistent and uniform than the previous one)
About wine:
Very fresh white wine, crisp fruit with volume and a delicious menthol finish.
About the estate:
After Bernard Durand, who oversaw the conversion of Pic Saint-Loup from mixed farming with a focus on sheep to its recognition as a quality wine-growing area, his nephew Régis Valentin took over the technical reins. Without fanfare, this is a domaine to seek out for its Vieilles Vignes cuvée, which is powerful yet flavorful, its Clos des Combes, and its Grande Cuvée. The Cuvée Madame is even more ambitious and the rosé is consistently delicious.
Guide Hachette des vins
Rated estate (2025 guide) Award-winning wines (This producer's wines are regularly recognized by the guide)
About the estate:
Régis Valentin, oenologist and cellar master, took over the estate in 2001, which was founded in 1960 by the Durand-Valentin families. He produces wines from 80 hectares of vines (in conversion to organic farming since 2019) on beautiful terroir of hard limestone and red clay. A sure bet in the Languedoc region.
