Bettane & Desseauve
Wine rated (2024 guide) 92/100
Rated estate (2024 guide) 2 stars (A serious and recommendable production, but a little more consistent and uniform than the previous one)
About the estate:
Isabelle and Mathieu Champart created their estate from scratch in 1976 and have made it a signature brand because, year after year, everything there is always excellent. The apparent simplicity of these lesser-known wines was matched only by the length and complexity of their finishes. The estate has changed hands, with Pascaline Bour, a relative of the Mulliez family, taking it over. We await the wines produced by the new team and hope that they will continue an incredible series of great successes in an appellation that curiously suffers from a lack of notoriety.
Guide Hachette des vins
Rated estate (2024 guide) Award-winning wines (This producer's wines are regularly awarded by the guide)
About the estate:
A magnificent landscape, terraced vineyards, a farmhouse on the hillside, and very stony, clay-limestone soil. Since 1976, Isabelle and Matthieu Champart have been cultivating 13 hectares of vines (80% of which are organic) in this picture-postcard setting, with an organic approach that predates their official conversion in 2019. They have been making wine since 1988, the year they left the cooperative.

Wine rated (2024 guide) 91/100
Rated estate (2024 guide) 1*Star (Up-and-coming stars or quality winemakers producing good-quality wines; you won't be disappointed when tasting the wines from these estates)
About wine:
Côte d'Arbo offers more roundness, in a powerful and distinguished style.
About the estate:
Fans of the Champart couple, both recently retired, can rest assured: the estate remains in excellent shape, following in the footsteps of its creators! Nicolas Gaignon continues to produce these beautiful vintages grown on clay-limestone soil. The 16-hectare estate, located on the limestone folds overlooking the town of Saint-Chinian, began its conversion to organic farming in 2019. Here, the wines are designed for both immediate enjoyment and long-term aging.

About wine:
Elegant and fruity nose of black cherries, baking spices, and dried thyme. Medium-bodied with creamy tannins on the palate, revealing spicy plums and elegant cherries. Quite drinkable, but a little more depth in the mid-palate would elevate it to the next level. Drink now.

A dark color, an opulent nose with fruit aromas, and a palate with a hint of spice. The wine remains closed and needs to be revisited!

Note and opinion by Mr. GILLES D. Published on 11/05/2023
A beautiful, traditional Saint-Chinian, distinguished in a radiant vintage. Full, broad and wonderfully indulgent on the palate, underscored by an ideal touch of minerality. Smooth, mellow and velvety with a core of concentrated red fruit, accompanied by subtle spices and delicate smoky notes. Powerful, fine, coating tannins that retain a beautiful freshness and carry us through to the finish, which is persistent and equally fragrant, with additional notes of licorice. Well-balanced, very well made and reasonably priced at around €13! To our great delight, this cuvée, which will continue to develop for many years to come, was enjoyed with skewers of Lozère lamb offal, marinated in garrigue herbs and cooked on the barbecue, accompanied by a harissa sauce and cherry tomatoes confit with garlic. Rating = 4.1.
