90/100
RVF
With its straw-yellow color, the Sainte Agnès cuvée captivates from the very first sip. The nose is expressive and complex, revealing floral notes along with white-fleshed fruits and dried fruits. The attack on the palate is full-bodied and fresh, with perfect balance. The aromas from the glass are echoed on the palate, leading to a long, briny finish. A delicious white wine!

Bettane & Desseauve
Rated estate (2026 guide): 2 stars (A solid, recommendable wine, though slightly more consistent and uniform than the previous vintage)
About the estate:
The three Ravaille brothers—Jean-Marc, Pierre, and Xavier—are as much at home on Pic Saint-Loup as the three fish depicted on the labels are in the water. They had to change the estate’s historic name, L’Ermitage du Pic Saint-Loup, to avoid competing with the well-known Rhône appellation. The red, Sainte-Agnès, blends the four main Languedoc grape varieties, while the white is half Roussanne. The transition to biodynamics has been underway for several years. Sainte-Agnès consistently stands as the archetype of Pic Saint-Loup reds.

Wine rated (2023 guide) 90/100 (2020 vintage)
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:
L'Héritage du Pic-Saint-Loup is a historic terroir located on the grounds of the former convent of Château de Montferrand. It was in the 12th century that the first winegrowers tilled and cultivated these vineyards. This jewel of the appellation, nestled directly against the Pic, is now run by the Ravaille family, to whom we owe, in particular, the introduction of Syrah, which is now the dominant variety in the appellation. The latest generation—Xavier, Pierre, and Jean-Marc—decided in 1992 to leave the cooperative to vinify these beautiful high-altitude vineyards. Rigorous standards in the vineyard, precision in expression, and controlled power are the hallmarks of the estate’s current production, making it a benchmark within the appellation.
