"The art of refinement in this cuvée, all lightness and finesse"
Le Pied Des Nymphettes is crafted from a blend of seven southern grape varieties sourced through mass selection. This cuvée is full of finesse while retaining superb depth and length. It reveals stony notes and offers a lovely fullness on the palate. Utterly elegant, it’s a true delight when paired with scallops, lobster, and fine fish!

Bettane & Desseauve
Rated estate (2025 guide) 1*Star (A serious, recommendable production that lives up to what one would expect from its appellation(s))
About the estate:
In 2000, Valérie Guérin took over the estate that her father, Jacques—a professor of oenology—had built up over the years. Under his stewardship, the estate grew from a thousand vines to eleven hectares in twenty years: thirteen plots of very old vines cultivated with meticulous care, low yields, a very natural winemaking process, and absolutely no barrel aging. The wines, harmonious, full of flavor and freshness, are very appealing for their natural character. The cuvées “Dennis-Royal,” made from Carignan vines over 75 years old, and “Les-Vendangeurs-de-la-Violette” are as fabulous as ever. The 2016 vintage will require further aging, as the extraction appears more intense than usual.

About the estate:
The initial 1,000 vines have, through a series of acquisitions and plantings, grown into an 11-hectare estate in the coastal region of Fitou. This estate, founded in 1979 by Jacques Guérin, a former viticulture teacher at the high school in Orange, has been run by his daughter Valérie since 2000.

Wine rated (2023 guide) 91/100
Rated estate (2025 guide) 2*Stars (These exceptional estates, often boasting fabulous terroirs, are must-haves that, thanks to their consistency and the excellence of their wines, deserve a place in the cellars of discerning wine lovers)
About the wine:
A conservatory cuvée of southern white grape varieties, made from mass-selected vines with a predominance of white Carignan for Le Pied des Nymphettes. A rich, full-bodied style with a finish of white pepper and mirabelle plum.
About the estate:
For two decades, Valérie Guérin—recently joined by her sister Agnès—has passionately championed this small estate in the La Palme area (in the coastal part of the Fitou appellation). Massal selections, extremely low yields of less than 20 hl/ha (which explain the high prices), and long vatting periods are her guiding principles. The result in the bottle is the perfect balance of ripeness and freshness. Multiple harvests from the plots yield a table rosé, three reds, and four dessert wines. These characterful cuvées boast a unique concentration; while they may seem bold in their youth, they refine beautifully with age.
