Bettane & Desseauve
Rated estate (2026 guide) 2*Stars (A solid, recommendable vintage, though slightly more consistent and uniform than the previous one)
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.

Rated estate (2026 guide) Award-winning wines (This producer’s wines are regularly recognized by the guide)
About the wine:
The estate lives up to its fine reputation with this highly energetic wine, aged in concrete tanks and large oak casks. Its powerful, full-bodied nose, with hints of tapenade, menthol, and smoke, is matched by a concentrated yet straightforward palate, supported by crisp, spicy tannins. The wine is carried from start to finish by a distinctive freshness. It’s worth the wait.
About the estate:
This renowned estate (45 hectares), formerly known as Ermitage du Pic Saint-Loup, lies at the foot of the Pic Saint-Loup. It is farmed organically and biodynamically by the Ravaille brothers.

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 wine:
Made from red clay soils, Tour de Pierres is a fuller-bodied wine with a minty freshness and silky tannins—a masterful expression of Languedoc red wine.
About the estate:
L'Héritage du Pic-Saint-Loup is a historic vineyard located on the grounds of the former convent of Château de Montferrand. It was in the 12th century that the first winegrowers began cultivating 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 grape 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.
