Château de Lancyre - La Rouvière 2019
15/20
Bettane & Desseauve
“A real treat”
A blend of 80% Roussanne, complemented by Marsanne and Viognier, grown on limestone soil, lending an airy quality to this Mediterranean white. The nose offers notes of flowers and citrus, with a fresh palate and a finish balanced by a hint of saltiness, resulting in a lovely, lingering finish. Mediterranean freshness!

Rated wine (2020 guide) 15/20 (2018 vintage) (Very good wine)
Rated estate (2025 guide) 2*Stars (A solid, recommendable vintage, though slightly more consistent and uniform than the previous one)
About the estate:
Following in the footsteps of Bernard Durand, who oversaw Pic Saint-Loup’s transition from a mixed-farming operation focused on sheep to its recognition as a quality wine-growing region, his nephew Régis Valentin has taken over the technical reins. Without fanfare, this is an estate worth seeking out for its Vieilles Vignes cuvée—powerful yet flavorful—its Clos des Combes, and its Grande Cuvée. The Cuvée Madame is even more ambitious, and the rosé is consistently delicious.
Guide Hachette des vins
Rated estate (2025 guide) Award-winning wines (This producer’s wines are regularly recognized by the guide)
About the estate:
Régis Valentin, an oenologist and cellar master, took over the estate in 2001, which was founded in 1960 by the Durand-Valentin families. He produces wines from 80 hectares of vineyards (in the process of converting to organic farming since 2019) situated on a beautiful terroir of hard limestone and red clay. A sure bet in the Languedoc.
