Bettane & Desseauve
Domaine rated (guide 2026) 2*Stars (A serious and recommendable production, but a little more regular and homogeneous than the previous one)
About the domain :
Marc Valette builds wines in his own image, with a broad stature, all expressing obvious power. He works organically and limits himself to very low yields. He has moved the whole range towards wines that can be drunk much more quickly. At the top of the range, Maghani wine takes its name from the wine of the Magi in the quatrains of the great Persian poet, Omar Khâyam. We have a lot of sympathy for the entry-level wines, notably Ivresses and Une et mille nuits. Marc's son, Camille, will take over from him in 2024.

Wine rated (2026 guide) 90/100
Domaine rated (guide 2026) 2*Stars (These great estates, often endowed with fabulous terroirs, are must-haves which, thanks to their consistency and the excellence of their production, must be included in the cellars of discerning wine lovers).
About the wine:
Antonyme plays the immediate pleasure card: a juice bursting with fruit, smooth and fresh. A straightforward, clean entry to the range.
About the domain :
In Saint-Chinian, Marc Valette is one of these pioneers, producing quality wines since the early 1990s. "Jean-François Izarn (Domaine Borie La Vitarèle) was the catalyst. When I met him, I went from being a simple farmer to a wine enthusiast", declares this humble winemaker with a big heart. His limestone vineyard, with its basic soil, covers 21 hectares of organic land around the winery. In the mid-2000s, when Marc decided to produce more elegant cuvées, he found his signature: wines balanced between finesse and complexity, thanks to less ripe grapes and gentler extractions. The profile of these wines, pleasant when young and capable of prowess when aged, is seductive in more ways than one. The quality of the wines tasted this year, and the pleasure they bring, confirm the validity of our second star.
