Bettane & Desseauve
Rated estate (2025 guide): 3*Stars (High-quality production that serves as a benchmark in its sector)
About the estate:
This relatively new winery is run by two agricultural engineers, one of whom is a former director of a Fitou winery who took over the family’s vineyards after they left the cooperative. Following a generous 2016 vintage and great successes in 2017, we noted the exceptional quality of the 2018 vintage—a benchmark wine for schist terroirs. With the 2019 vintage continuing this impressive momentum, we are happy to award them a third star.
Guide Hachette des vins
Rated estate (2025 guide): 2* Stars (Remarkable wine)
About the estate:
Vivien Roussignol and Marie Toussaint started out in 2011 with just one hectare of goblet-pruned vines grown on schist-rich hillsides. They have gradually expanded the vineyard, focusing on old vines and preserving a rich heritage of grape varieties (about twenty today). The 12 hectares have been in the process of converting to organic farming since 2019.

Selected Wineries (Please note that this guide is a ranking, and as such, all the wineries listed here—even those without a star—represent, in our view, the very best of French wine production.)
About the wine:
This vintage offers the pleasure of a young, spirited wine, balancing spice and fruit, lightness and depth. A little bottle aging will do it a world of good. Be patient.
