Bettane & Desseauve

Rated estate (2026 guide): 2*Stars (A solid, recommendable production, though slightly more consistent and uniform than the previous one)

About the estate:

With one foot in the Pic Saint-Loup region and the other in the Coteaux du Languedoc appellation and the IGPs, the Orliac family owns 80 hectares of vineyards in the garrigue, in the heart of the Hérault department. Jean skillfully oversees the estate’s future despite the losses the family has suffered. With several wine lines spanning this broad range of terroirs (Bergerie de l’Hortus, Clos du Prieur), the Orliac family strives to produce wines of great precision, particularly the reds, which are refined and elegant. The style of the wines is evolving: while the high-end cuvée, Le Dit de l’Hortus, remains true to the estate’s tradition, the other cuvées are becoming lighter in style to be enjoyed sooner.

Guide Hachette des vins

Rated estate (2026 guide) Award-winning wines (This producer's wines regularly receive awards from the guide)

About the estate:

Located between Pic Saint-Loup and the Causse de l'Hortus, in the Fambetou valley, this renowned estate spans 85 hectares of diverse terroirs. Beginning in 1978, Jean and Marie-Thérèse Orliac cleared the scrubland, restored the terraces, built a winery and a house, and then brought their children to live alongside them.

Review by Mr. JEAN CLAUDE L. Published on September 7, 2026

A very distinctive wine for this vintage—highly fruit-forward and somewhat unexpected. It will need time to age so that its tannins can mellow. One to watch over time.
