Rating: Gault Millau 15/20
This 2005 white wine, with its generous, complex, and lingering palate, once again confirms Michel Louison’s unparalleled talent. A passionate winemaker, 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, offering a truly gastronomic white wine that is well-balanced and endowed with a beautiful minerality, which will pair perfectly with fine fish and scallops!

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.

No hesitation about this beautifully crafted wine, which is just as enjoyable as a white as it is as a red

Wine tasted in 2008. I really enjoyed it, especially its intense aroma. A lovely bottle, enjoyed as an aperitif with slices of Comté cheese.
