Bettane & Desseauve
“A delicate white wine with a strong character”
“Roussanne, Grenache Blanc, and Terret come together in this exceptional white wine, vinified partly in tanks and barrels, then aged in oak. The delicate, floral aromas with a hint of vanilla on the nose give way to notes of exotic fruit, pear, and menthol on the palate, which is smooth, velvety, and fresh, with a uniquely refined texture. The salty, zesty finish lingers for a very long time. “Surprisingly fresh,” “distinguished,” “a great wine”—the jury did not hide its delight. It will be perfect with pan-seared scallops with citrus.” (Le Guide Hachette 2026).

About the estate:
Founded in 1781, the estate takes its name from the Dourbie, a small river that flows through the vineyards before emptying into the Hérault. Modernized in the early 2000s, the estate spans 34 hectares of vineyards cultivated using organic farming methods.
