Our favorite among recent vintages and produced only in the best years (the last one dating back to 2009), the Pic Saint Loup Madame 2013 is made from almost 100% Syrah grapes grown on clay-limestone soil and aged for 18 months in vats. Already reviewed last year, it is even better this time around, with a sublime Syrah character featuring a bouquet of mineral, black fruit, and violet. Fabulous purity, medium body, ripe tannins, and superb overall balance suggest beautiful development over the next ten years." (Wine Advocate 2016 - Robert Parker)

Bettane & Desseauve
Rated estate (2025 guide) 2 stars (A serious and recommendable production, but a little more consistent and uniform than the previous one)
About the estate:
After Bernard Durand, who oversaw the conversion of Pic Saint-Loup from mixed farming with a focus on sheep to its recognition as a quality wine-growing area, his nephew Régis Valentin took over the technical reins. Without fanfare, this is a domaine to seek out for its Vieilles Vignes cuvée, which is 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, 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 vines (in conversion to organic farming since 2019) on beautiful terroir of hard limestone and red clay. A sure bet in the Languedoc region.
