Bettane & Desseauve
"A Languedoc concentrate in a bottle, reflecting the authenticity of the Terrasses du Larzac terroir".
"La Réserve d'O closes a very fine 2020 range, delivering a more sanguine and floral expression, with lovely notes of violets. More solid, but carried by noble tannins and beautiful bitters, it deserves a few years of cellaring." (Le Guide RVF).

Rated wine 91/100
Domaine rated (guide 2025) 1*Star (A serious, recommendable production, in line with what one has the right to expect from its appellation(s))
About the wine:
Nice, fairly dense juice for a full-bodied wine that preserves its freshness.
About the domain :
La Réserve d'O is a ten-hectare estate located in Arboras, in the hills above the Terrasses du Larzac. Founded in 2004 by Frédéric and Marie Chauffray, and run according to biodynamic principles, it has quickly become one of the area's favorite addresses. The cuvée that bears the estate's name has a very gourmet, long-lasting style, with no aging in wood. It has evolved a great deal, and since 2011 has been one of the Languedoc cuvées that count. Bilbo, in homage to the city of Bilbao, is predominantly Cinsault, while hissez-o has a higher proportion of Syrah. These are good representatives of the Terrasses du Larzac appellation, in a rather fleshy style.
Guide Hachette des vins
Domaine noté (guide 2025) Award-winning wines (The wines of this producer are regularly awarded by the guide)
About the domain :
Situated high up on the Causse d'Arboras, the vines (12 ha) seek out the earth beneath the stones. Established in 2005, Marie, the new president of the Terrasses du Larzac syndicate, and Frédéric Chauffray work biodynamically, using gentle methods (minimum SO2, no yeasting, fining or filtration) to produce grapes that are carefully selected.

Domaine rated (guide 2025) 1*Star (Stars in the making or quality winemakers with good production levels, you won't be disappointed when you taste the wines from these estates)
About the wine:
La Réserve d'O closes a very fine 2020 range, delivering a more sanguine, floral expression, with lovely notes of violets. More solid, but supported by noble tannins and fine bitters, it deserves a few years in the cellar.
About the domain :
Frédéric Chauffray has two passions: rock and wine. In the end, he chose between his Gibson guitar and winegrowing. A wine merchant with his wife Marie since 1990, in 2004 he moved to the Terrasses du Larzac, in the commune of Arboras, at an altitude of some 400 meters, to found Réserve d'O. Thanks to this cool geographical location, in the foothills of the Larzac plateau below the Col du Vent, and a highly respectful, low-interventionist agronomic approach, the couple soon signed up for open, joyful wines, far removed from the more austere, Jansenist signatures of some wines in the area. The precise management of aromatics and tannins leads us to award this estate its first star.
