Rating: Robert Parker 90-91/100
The Coste d'Aleyrac cuvée is the entry-level Pic Saint-Loup produced by the estate. A delicious 2007 vintage that opens with notes of red berries—blackcurrant and cherries—all with a hint of pepper. On the palate, it offers a fruity, crisp attack, followed by some roasted notes. A thoroughly enjoyable bottle at a stunning price!

Bettane & Desseauve
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—as well as its Clos des Combes and 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 regularly receive awards from 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.
