“Endless aromas of blueberry, blackcurrant, and plum give way to a gentle, spicy note of cinnamon. Deep and complex, with robust, chocolatey tannins and an unbridled freshness that binds and supports the whole. Still very young, it has many years ahead of it.” (Decanter 2025)

Bettane & Desseauve
Rated estate (2022 guide): 4 stars (Producers of the very highest quality, the pride of French viticulture)
About the estate:
The terroir consists of marl and clay soils resting on a limestone base. Guillaume Tari and his wife manage this historic estate with passion and dedication. By preserving nature as much as possible, they produce wines that reflect their philosophy: “Quality is the sum of details, each of which demands precision.” Since the king of grape varieties, Mourvèdre, has the gift of expressing not only the character of its terroir but also that of its winemaker, the wines display a distinctly Bordeaux-style character—sophisticated and well-raised—without ever betraying this splendid and untamed terroir, overlooking the Mediterranean Sea.

Rated estate (2023 guide) 1*Star (Up-and-coming stars or quality winemakers producing wines of a high standard—you won’t be disappointed when tasting the wines from these estates)
About the estate:
Guillaume and Soledad Tari, from Bordeaux, run this 500-hectare estate, at the heart of which lie 20 hectares of organically farmed vineyards. One of the estate’s key features is its high-altitude location. At 410 meters, La Bégude enjoys a climate very different from that near the coast. With significant temperature variations between day and night, and a windy environment, the Mourvèdre grapes ripen slowly but surely. And on this “stony” terroir, the Grenache takes on a character rarely found in Bandol. With powerful aromas of black fruit and black olives, the reds (50% of the volume) always offer a warm character, pushing the limits of ripeness! The rosé is always remarkable for its unique vinosity. The 2019 red is admirably concentrated with a refined fruit expression. Let’s hope the coming vintages follow this trend!

Vert de Vin
Wine rated (2025 guide) 92/100 (Jonathan Choukroun Chicheportiche)
About the wine:
The nose is aromatic and minty, with almost a hint of eucalyptus. There are subtle notes of toast and chocolate, as well as dark fruits like juicy black cherries and blackberries. The second nose is fresh, still with a hint of coffee. The palate is fresh and round on the attack. There are notes of black fruits such as blackberry and cherry. There is a lovely acidity in the mid-palate. The tannins are present and persistent through to the finish. The finish features juicy little morello cherries as well as a hint of chocolate. Pleasant. Great potential.
