Bettane & Desseauve
Rated estate (2018 guide): 2*Stars (A solid, recommendable wine, though slightly more consistent and uniform than the previous vintage)
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 vintners have a steady supply of high-quality grapes, and Provence is a favorite region for the duo. Following the 2016 sale of their estate, Clos de la Procure, they are refocusing on the core of their business: crafting a range of characterful, delicious wines.

3-Star Rated Estate (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.

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 fine-wine business specializing in wines from Provence, the southern Rhône, and Languedoc. Carefully selecting their sources, they showcase wines ranging from fruit-forward and juicy offerings in the “Caractère” line to 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 exciting experiences.
