“An alluring, wild, and ripe nose, with aromas of violet and licorice, and exceptional fruit purity. On the palate, the tannins are fine, textured, and complex. A beautiful balance between sweetness and savory, full-bodied notes. Once again, it is the purity of the fruit on the palate that truly stands out here. Long, refined, and delicious. ” (Jancis Robinson 2025)

Bettane & Desseauve
Rated estate (2026 guide): 4*Stars (Producers of the very highest quality, the pride of French viticulture)
About the estate:
The younger generation—Claire, Thomas, and, more recently, Édith, the youngest—is brilliantly carrying on the work of their father Marcel, an iconic figure of the Cairanne appellation. While honoring their heritage, they are injecting new energy into the estate, marked in particular by the acquisition of an additional 20 hectares, part of which borders the famous Ebrescades plot. The wines, consistently of remarkable quality, are becoming even more refined and precise in their expression. More precise aromatically and more refined in texture, they now combine depth and immediacy in an increasingly accomplished balance.

Wine rated (2027 guide) 93/100
Rated Estate (2027 Guide) 2*Stars (These exceptional estates, often boasting fabulous terroirs, are must-haves that—thanks to the consistency and excellence of their wines—belong in the cellars of discerning wine lovers)
About the wine:
The 2024 Cairanne is bursting with black fruit flavors, both on the nose and on the palate, with a velvety, graceful texture.
About the estate:
This iconic estate has been brilliantly managed since 2014 by Claire and Thomas Richaud. They have brought their own artistic sensibility while preserving the estate’s spirit, combining rich ripeness with freshness. The way they handle these high-alcohol wines is truly admirable: each cuvée exudes its terroir and displays aromas of magnificent refinement. Over the past several vintages, these wines have gained even more finesse without losing any depth—they stand at the pinnacle of the southern Rhône.
