Note: Gault Millau 15/20
A white wine with a generous, complex and persistent mouthfeel, which once again confirms Michel Louison's unrivalled talent. He plays with each of his grape varieties and his exceptional terroir like a conductor directs his orchestra, without a false note. Marsanne and Roussanne play the score and offer a truly gastronomic white, well-balanced and endowed with a beautiful minerality that will express itself ideally with noble fish and scallops!

Bettane & Desseauve
Domaine rated (guide 2021) 1*Star (A serious, recommendable production, in line with what one has the right to expect from its appellation(s))
About the domain :
This property made Faugères great in the 1990s, before being taken over by Julien Seydoux, who came here with the modesty to learn about the terroir and the desire to bring Estanilles back to the forefront. The winemaking techniques are gradually adapting to the grapes and there's still room for improvement. The reds are powerful and full-flavored, with a strong personality.
Guide Hachette des vins
Domaine noté (guide 2021) Award-winning wines (The wines of this producer are regularly awarded by the guide)
About the domain :
In 2009, the self-taught Julien Seydoux bought this 44-hectare estate, which is run organically and produces faugères that are often remarkable. A sure bet.
