This blend of Grenache and Syrah, grown on hard limestone soils, offers intense fruit notes (fresh grapes, ripe cherries) accented by hints of bay leaf. A red wine with a delicate, light, fruity, and minty attack, silky tannins, and a finish with remarkable aromatic persistence. A real treat and pure pleasure await!

Bettane & Desseauve
Wine rated 91/100 (2020 vintage)
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.
