Bettane & Desseauve
"Las Planelos? The name of the sandy-clay plot that gave birth to this Chenin and Chardonnay blend. The nose combines broom, apricot, and fresh hazelnut, subtly underscored by a delicate touch of vanilla. A harmonious approach that extends to a tender palate, with a slight sweetness perfectly balanced by superb acidity. A beautiful finish with notes of lime blossom honey, fig and toast. (Le Guide Hachette des Vins) A Limoux on a par with the great wines of Languedoc!

Wine rated (2020 guide) 14/20 (Good wine)
Rated estate (2020 guide) 2 stars (A serious and recommendable production, but a little more consistent and uniform than the previous one)
About wine:
Powerful, ripe, and very mellow nose, with sweet vanilla, white fruit, bergamot, and lily. Warm and full on the palate, with slightly pronounced oak, a touch of bitterness, and a fresh finish. Full of character. For fans of rich, oaky whites, this one is very well made.
About the estate:
Julia Hubrich and Julien Gil are two passionate young winemakers who settled less than ten years ago on a rocky plateau at the edge of the Limoux appellation. They cultivate and vinify their nine hectares in the most natural way possible: "it is not the cellar that improves the wine, but the work of man in the vineyard." One can only admire the progress and consistency of all the wines from this estate, which has become a must-visit destination.

About the estate:
Two young winemakers and a young estate, established in 2006. Originally from Dresden, Julia trained in Montpellier and Bordeaux. Julien, a native of southern France, has been passionate about cooking and wine since his teens and took a detour via the Médoc to learn the trade. The couple began by "saving" two hectares of old Carignan vines that were destined for uprooting, then acquired vineyards in the Limoux AOC. In total, they now have 10 hectares.
