Rating: Gault Millau 15/20
A white wine with a generous, complex, and lingering palate that once again confirms Michel Louison’s unparalleled talent. He works with each of his grape varieties and his exceptional terroir like a conductor leading an orchestra—without a single false note. Marsanne and Roussanne play their parts perfectly, offering a truly well-balanced wine for fine dining, endowed with a beautiful minerality that pairs perfectly with premium fish and scallops!

Bettane & Desseauve
Rated estate (2021 guide) 1*Star (A well-crafted, recommendable wine that lives up to what one would expect from its appellation(s))
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 strong personalities.
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 Julien Seydoux purchased this 44-hectare estate, which is farmed organically and produces wines that are often remarkable. A sure bet.
