“The 18 months in barrel leave their mark on this almost pure Syrah, with a toasty, vanilla-scented nose against a backdrop of dark fruit. Full-bodied on the palate but never overpowering, the aging process has beautifully rounded out the fine, firm tannins that support a rich, luscious body with remarkable freshness. This red wine has great depth and potential for the future; it’s best left to age in the cellar for a few years.”(Le Guide Hachette des Vins 2021)

Bettane & Desseauve
Rated estate (2021 guide) 1*Star (A high-quality, recommendable wine that lives up to expectations for 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 a strong personality.

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.
