"Endless aromas of blueberry, blackcurrant, and plum are followed by a gentle hint of cinnamon spice. Deep and complex, with vigorous chocolate tannins and unbridled freshness that unite and support the whole. Still very young, it has several years ahead of it." (Decanter 2025)

Bettane & Desseauve
Domaine rated (guide 2022) 4*Stars (Top-quality producers, the glories of French winegrowing)
About the domain :
The terroir is composed of marl and clay soils on a limestone bedrock. Guillaume Tari and his wife manage this place steeped in history with heart and spirit. Preserving nature as much as possible, they produce wines that live up to their philosophy that "quality is a sum of details, each of which requires rigor". Since the king grape variety, Mourvèdre, has the gift not only of expressing the character of its terroir, but also that of its winemaker, the wines show a distinctly Bordeaux trait, sophisticated and well-mannered, without betraying this wild and splendid terroir overlooking the Grande Bleue.

Wine rated (2025 guide) 90/100
Domaine rated (guide 2023) 1*Star (Stars in the making or quality winemakers with a good level of production, you won't be disappointed when you taste the wines from these estates)
About the domain :
Bordelais Guillaume and Soledad Tari are at the helm of this 500-hectare estate, amidst which nestle 20 hectares of organic vines. One of the main features of this wine estate is its altitude. At 410 meters, La Bégude enjoys a very different climate from that near the coast. With wide temperature variations between day and night, and a windy area, the Mourvèdre grapes ripen slowly but surely. And Grenache takes on a dimension on this "caillasse" terroir that is rarely found in Bandol. With powerful aromas of black fruit and black olive, the reds (50% of the volume) still offer a warm spirit, at the upper limit of ripeness! The rosé is always remarkable for its singular vinosity. The 2019 red is admirably concentrated, with a fine expression of fruit. Let's hope that future vintages follow suit!

Vert de Vin
Wine rated (2025 guide) 92/100 (Jonathan Choukroun Chicheportiche)
About the wine:
The nose is aromatic, minty, almost with a hint of eucalyptus. There is a slight toasty, chocolatey note. And black fruits such as juicy black cherry and blackberry. The second nose is still fresh with almost a hint of coffee. The palate is fresh and round on the attack. There are notes of black fruits such as blackberries and cherries. There is a nice acidity in the middle of the palate. The tannins are present and persistent until the finish. The end of the tasting is on the small juicy morello cherry but also on a slight chocolate note. Pleasant. Good potential.
