Bettane & Desseauve

With a nose of morello cherry and spices, this is a complex and aromatic wine. The palate, full of finesse, continues with notes of licorice and mint, complemented by a beautiful tannic structure. The mountain freshness combined with the concentration brought by the sun creates the perfect balance!

Rated Estate (2023 Guide) 2*Stars (These exceptional estates, often boasting fabulous terroirs, are must-haves that, thanks to the consistency and excellence of their wines, deserve a place in the cellars of discerning wine lovers)

About the estate:

Having returned to the family estate in 1984, the Parcé brothers first made a name for themselves by crafting vintage-style fortified Banyuls (vintage wines, meant to be enjoyed young), to which they brought a precision of flavor and an aromatic intensity previously unseen. Jean-Emmanuel, who joined the family in 2010, embodies the family’s renewal. He reduced the vineyard’s size to 34 hectares of this highly fragmented plot structure (50 parcels). Sun exposure and altitudes vary widely. He took on the challenge of organic farming in this arid landscape, which is shaped by the rhythms of the sea breezes. Dry whites and reds are now among the estate’s signature wines, offering bold and intense expressions. We commend the exceptional consistency of the lineup—across all three wine types as well as the VDN—and thus, it logically earns its second star.
