The 2007 vintage received the following ratings: Robert Parker 89/100, RVF 17.5/20
The Trelans cuvée is a blend of Vermentino and Chenin that spent 12 months in oak barrels, following three years of aging. The result is a white wine with notes of fresh pear, quince, honeysuckle, hints of smoky black tea, and a touch of tangy citrus zest... A surprising wine!

Bettane & Desseauve
Winery rated 1*Star (A high-quality, recommended wine that lives up to what one would expect from its appellation(s))
About the estate:
Having settled in Montpeyroux in 1992, after stints at Château Montus and in Corsica, Alain Chabanon also cultivates vineyards in Jonquières, Saint-André, Lagamas, and Saint-Saturnin. A pioneer in organic winemaking, Alain is one of the most refined and fascinating winemakers around. While some vintages were occasionally controversial in the past, magnificent new facilities have allowed the estate to take a significant step forward. The aging styles, which were previously quite noticeable, will evolve significantly with the shift to large oak vats instead of barrels. Concrete egg-shaped tanks for the Mourvèdre grapes have added a touch of freshness. A bit more body in the wines would allow the estate to compete in a higher tier.

RVF - La Revue du Vin de France / Guide des Meilleurs Vins de France
Rated estate (2026 guide) 2*Stars (These exceptional estates, often boasting fabulous terroirs, are must-haves that, thanks to the consistency and excellence of their wines, deserve a place in the cellars of discerning wine lovers)
About the estate:
Alain Chabanon settled on the outskirts of Montpeyroux in 1992 after learning the trade under Alain Brumont in Madiran and Count Peraldi on the Isle of Beauty. A dedicated and inspired winemaker, he quickly distinguished himself through hard work in the vineyard and bold decisions regarding viticultural practices, blends, and aging. Patience is key for these unvarnished, highly tactile wines, which are aged in stainless steel, concrete eggs, or large oak casks and bottled late after they have mellowed. The overall impression is balanced and precise, with exemplary management of terroir expression and ripeness. We applaud the work put in and the distinct personality of each wine.

Very unique! For me, this is the perfect wine for an aperitif, paired with cold cuts or a good terrine. Excellent!
