(2016 Vintage Notes)
The red version of this cuvée is expressive, revealing aromas of beautiful ripe red fruits and slightly peppery spices. Built on an elegant tannic structure, the wine is not lacking in freshness, thanks to a lovely minerality. A complex, straightforward, and utterly charming Faugères...

Bettane & Desseauve

Bettane & Desseauve

Wine rated 14.5/20 (2016 vintage) (Good wine)

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.
Hachette Wine Guide

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 from the Faugères region that are often remarkable. A sure bet.
