A classic from Faugères, where Syrah truly expresses its unique terroir!
Le Point 17/20 , Fleurus Guide 17/20, Gault Millau 16/20, RVF 8.5/10This cuvée fully expresses the grandeur of the terroir. The Syrah Here, it truly brings this Great Wine to life, with the undeniable finesse of its 13-month barrel aging. Perfect to drink now, it has all the potential to age gracefully over the years. The wine is very harmonious and perfectly balanced, combining freshness and minerality. It will continue to age beautifully for another three to four years and can be enjoyed... for the next ten years...

Bettane & Desseauve
Rated estate (2021 guide) 1*Star (A high-quality, 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 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.
