"A wine you never tire of"
"Rich and fragrant with a wide spectrum of aromas, from summer flowers to licorice and black pepper. Rich, deep, and structured, this great Côte-Rôtie has everything we look for in this famous appellation. Very long finish with amazing tannins, violet, and stony minerality. Amazing depth for only 12.5% alcohol! Enjoy now, but preferably drink from 2025 onwards." (James Suckling 2023) • Please note, very limited quantities available.

Bettane & Desseauve
Winery rated 1*Star (A serious, recommendable production, consistent with what one would expect from its appellation(s))
About the estate:
This estate has some lovely vineyards in the Côte Blonde area, including one on Le Goutay, near their home, but their best wine comes from Les Rochains, on the schist soils near La Landonne. Production still lacks consistency, but the style is authentic, with the hallmark of whole bunch fermentation. The 2017 vintage showed great promise this year.

Wine rated (2022 guide) 94/100
Rated estate (2023 guide) Recommended
About wine:
The nose still shows some reduction, but not in a problematic way at this stage. The medium-bodied fruit coats the palate and is very fresh and well-balanced. The tannins are more succulent than most 2021 wines, and with its fine, tangy acidity and moderate alcohol, this wine shows great promise and should be excellent if the reduction is resolved during aging. The rating assumes that this will be the case. Made from four lieux-dits and 25-year-old vines in the Côte Blonde, aged for 21 months in barrels of different sizes and ages.

Rated estate (2024 guide) 1*Star (Up-and-coming stars or quality winemakers producing good-quality wines; you won't be disappointed when tasting the wines from these estates)
About the estate:
The Garon wines showcase the diversity of the Côte-Rôtie terroirs. We are impressed by the style of the estate's wines, which are distinguished by their fine texture. The fruit is precise, and the aging process intensifies depending on the terroirs and their ability to manage the wood. Among the different vintages, La Sybarine evokes the expression of granitic soils; Les Triotes, located on the Côte Blonde, next to Lancement, comes from schist; Les Rochins is born on the brown schist of the Côte Brune.
