Saint-André de Figuière - Vieilles Vignes 2011
New vintage, 2010 was rated: Bettane & Desseauve 16/20 (Immediate pleasure),
These are old vines, averaging 30 to 35 years old, an age that is not very common in Provence, which give rise to this expressive rosé, opening with spicy citrus aromas, and on the palate, everything is lightness, finesse, smoothness, with the added silkiness of an innocent's skin... Perfect!

Bettane & Desseauve
Rated estate (2020 guide) 2 stars (A serious and recommendable production, but a little more consistent and uniform than the previous one)
About the estate:
This is one of the most famous estates in Provence. It belongs to the Combard family, who manage this 85-hectare vineyard, including 30 hectares of leased land. The vineyard, located on the coast on schist soil, has been cultivated organically since 1979. Steps are currently being taken to convert the entire estate to biodynamic farming. We applaud this commitment, which is no easy feat for an estate of this size. While the wines are among the sure values of Provence, the family also works hard to welcome visitors and offers a cultural program during the sunny days of the season that is well worth a visit.
