Grown on soils rich in sandstone schist, the southern grape varieties (Mourvèdre, Syrah, Grenache) offer ripe, spicy aromas that are both charming and deep. The palate is smooth and elegant, with superb length and notes of cocoa, licorice, coffee, and red berries. Southern through and through!

Bettane & Desseauve
Wine rated (2018 guide) 14/20 (Good wine)
Rated estate (2021 guide) 1*Star (A high-quality, recommendable wine that lives up to expectations for its appellation(s))
About the wine:
A full-bodied wine, silky and velvety, with more breadth than length, and very ripe for its vintage.
About the estate:
This estate was the pride of Faugères in the 1990s, before being taken over by Julien Seydoux, who arrived here with the humility to learn about the terroir and the desire to bring Les Estanilles back to the forefront. The aging process is gradually adapting to the wines’ characteristics and still has room to improve. The reds are powerful and full of flavor; they are wines with a strong personality.
Guide Hachette des vins
Rated estate (2021 guide) Award-winning wines (This producer’s wines regularly receive awards from the guide)
About the estate:
In 2009, the self-taught winemaker Julien Seydoux purchased this 44-hectare estate, which is farmed organically and produces wines that are often outstanding. A sure bet.

There's still a long way to go before I reach the former owner's level.

A fine wine, but the whole thing is very austere and lacks richness. It seems completely closed off.
