Bettane & Desseauve
Wine rated 16/20 (Very good wine)
Rated estate (2020 guide) 3 stars (High-quality production, serving as a benchmark in its sector)
About wine:
Made from 70% Mourvèdre, this wine is very approachable right now. The classic Mediterranean flavors of this vintage give the finish its structure.
About the estate:
Christophe Bousquet is deeply in tune with nature on his vineyard, which receives little rainfall but which we consider to be the finest in La Clape. On the heights of Gruissan, close to Narbonne and one kilometer from the Mediterranean, with its 30 hectares grazed by sheep in winter and certified organic, Pech-Redon has long produced the best wines in the Clape area, the freshest and most complex. The whites, particularly La Centaurée, are a must-try. Among the reds, La Centaurée stands apart with its unique style, a wine for reflection with very fine tannins, less rich than Les Cades or L'Épervier. Christophe is increasingly favoring Mourvèdre, which thrives here because it faces the sea. The 2017 reds are very successful and the 2018, tasted during aging, will be no less so.

Rated estate (2020 guide) Award-winning wines (This producer's wines are regularly recognized by the guide)
About the estate:
A winding road leads to the highest point of the La Clape massif, the Coffre de Pech-Redon, which gives its name to the estate, located in the heart of the natural park. Christophe Bousquet has been cultivating his 30 hectares of vineyards there organically since 1988.

Wine rated (2017 guide) 15,5/20 (Good wine)
Rated estate (2020 guide) 1*Star (Up-and-coming stars or quality winemakers producing good wines; you won't be disappointed when tasting the wines from these estates)
About wine:
A very full-bodied red, with depth and structure provided by the Mourvèdre.
About the estate:
Christophe Bousquet is a dynamic and determined winemaker who fights (sometimes against adversity) to fly the flag for La Clape, a maritime area (it is a former island) with great potential. He has made the agronomic choice of organic viticulture and has gradually refined his winemaking and aging techniques, transforming his wines, which were once robust and high in alcohol, into more nuanced and balanced expressions. These are wines with a very assertive character, rooted in their terroir, and structured within a range that is now highly coherent. This magnificent work, carried out under Herculean conditions at a site on the front lines of heatwaves and droughts, fully deserves the star we award in this edition of the Green Guide.
