Bettane & Desseauve
Rated estate (2022 guide): 3 stars (High-quality production, setting the standard in its sector)
About the estate:
The estate is led by Michel Bronzo, supported by Stéphane Bourret, technical director and expert taster. In just a few years, the estate has closed the gap on the appellation’s historic leaders. The consistency and intensity of its wines are the result of dedicated efforts, from the vineyard to the cellar, combined with a deep understanding of the terroir. La Bastide Blanche is situated on red clay soils, where the Fontanéou cuvée is produced, and on stony clay soils for the Estagnol cuvée. The wines have a composed, earthy character, deeply rooted in the land.

About the estate:
This estate, purchased in 1973 by Louis and Michel Bronzo, produces serious wines in all three colors, combining power and finesse. The 47-hectare vineyard, which is fragmented and primarily laid out in terraces, captures the geological diversity of the Bandol terroir. Stéphane Bourret, in charge of winemaking, produces robust reds, more earthy than maritime, as exemplified by the two flagship wines: Fontanéou (4,000 bottles per year), born of red clay soils, facing due east in La Cadière-d’Azur, a blend of Mourvèdre and Grenache, is racy; Estagnol (5,000 bottles per year), grown on clay-limestone soils mixed with gravelly areas, offers a very ripe and opulent texture. Made primarily from Clairette and Ugni Blanc, the white wine is undoubtedly the most consistent and harmonious in the appellation. The older vintages available for sale allow you to appreciate the undeniable potential of the estate’s wines.
