"A very exclusive vintage with real character!"

This micro-cuvée, sourced from a vineyard plot on high slopes, is aged for 18 months in new oak barrels. It is a southern red—powerful and full-bodied—with aromas of dark fruit. It is perfectly balanced on the palate, and the finish lingers with notes of spices and ripe fruit. This is a wine built for aging; it should be opened a little while in advance to fully appreciate it.

Bettane & Desseauve

Bettane & Desseauve

Wine rated 91/100 (2019 vintage)

Rated estate (2020 guide): 2*Stars (A solid, recommendable production, though slightly more consistent and uniform than the previous one)

About the estate:

The limestone scree soil of this 29-hectare estate is typical of the Palette appellation. The natural amphitheater formed by the surrounding hills shields the vines from the mistral and creates a favorable microclimate. The talkative Stéphane Spitzglous, a native of the region, devotes himself to both the vineyard and the winery, and it’s a real pleasure to discover this estate on the road between Sainte-Victoire and Aix. While he initially sent his production to the cooperative, today he bottles everything at the estate—a source of great pride for him.

Rated Estate (2021 Guide) Award-Winning Wines (This producer's wines regularly receive awards from the guide)

About the estate:

In 1996, Stéphane Spitzglous took over his grandfather Henri Bonnaud’s estate. After extensive construction work to build a single structure housing the cellar, the wine-making room, and the tasting room, he released his first vintage in 2004 and renamed his estate after his grandfather. The vineyard is located in Tholonet, southeast of Aix-en-Provence, facing Montagne Sainte-Victoire, and covers 29 hectares that have been farmed organically since 2013.
