“What aging potential! Very fine tannins, balanced and dense body and structure, and perfectly integrated aging. A vertical and full-bodied wine, firmly grounded in time. ” (The Bettane & Desseauve Wine Guide 2018) This Syrah-Mourvèdre blend, with the stems completely removed and the grapes crushed by foot, undergoes a very long maceration lasting 2 months.

Bettane & Desseauve
Wine rated (2018 guide) 17,5/20 (Reference wine)
Rated estate (2018 guide): 2*Stars (A solid and recommendable wine, though slightly more consistent and uniform than the previous vintage)
About the wine:
What aging potential! Very fine tannins, balanced and dense body and structure, and perfectly integrated aging. A vertical and full-bodied wine, firmly rooted in time.
About the estate:
Formed in 2000, the partnership between singer Emmanuelle Dupéré and geological engineer Laurent Barrera is now well-established. These merchants, winemakers, and ageers have a steady supply of high-quality grapes, and Provence is a favorite region for the duo. After selling their estate, Clos de la Procure, in 2016, they refocused on the core of their business: crafting a range of characterful, delicious wines.
Guide des Vins Gault & Millau
Estate rated 3 stars (Very high-quality production)
About the estate:
Laurent Barrera, a geological engineer, and Emmanuelle Dupéré, who holds a BTS in viticulture and oenology from Bordeaux, launched a small wine trading business in 1998 with the goal of producing wines of the very highest quality throughout southeastern France. They purchase grapes directly from the vineyard and closely monitor the winemaking process. Le Clos de la Procure, which they manage directly, consists mainly of old vines in Carnoules (30 km east of Bandol). In 2009, a new winery was built in the middle of the vineyards.

Wine rated (2018 guide) 16/20 (Very good wine)
Rated estate (2018 guide): 1*Star (Up-and-coming stars or high-quality winemakers producing wines of a high standard—you won’t be disappointed when you taste the wines from these estates)
About the estate:
The year 2016 marked a turning point for Emmanuelle Dupéré and Laurent Barrera. The couple sold their Clos de la Procure estate in Carnoules to devote themselves exclusively to their high-end wine trading business specializing in wines from Provence, the southern Rhône, and the Languedoc. Carefully selecting their wines, they showcase fruit-forward, juicy vintages in their “Caractère” line, as well as more ambitious wines with a robust Provençal character—particularly among the reds (80% of their volume)—such as “The Last One” or “TLM,” which undergoes a two-month maceration. The diverse range of labels will appeal to wine enthusiasts seeking thrilling experiences.
