RVF
"The 2013 Côtes Catalanes Les Clares Petites is composed of equal parts Grenache blanc and Roussanne, aged in vats. Lively and delicious, with notes of citrus, lime and lovely minerality, this bright, medium-bodied white is irresistible. It's ideal for opening a meal, and will drink well for several years." (Wine Advocate - Robert Parker). A lively, thirst-quenching white to accompany simple foods...

Bettane & Desseauve
Domaine rated 2*Stars (A serious and recommendable production, but a little more regular and homogeneous than the previous one)
About the domain :
A former press photographer, Étienne Montès took over the family estates, Casenove and Saint-Luc. The La Garrigue and Torrespeyres cuvées form an easily accessible core range. The Commandant-Jaubert cuvée is made when the vintage lends itself to it. It bears the name of a sailor, Etienne's great-great-uncle, who built the estate.

Wine rated (2015 guide) 15,5/20 (Good wine)
Domaine noté Sélectionné (We remind you that this guide is a prize list, and as such, all the estates that appear in it, even without a star, represent, in our eyes, the excellence of French production).
About the wine:
Les Clares Petites 2013 is a joyful white that tastes great, crisp and salty.
About the domain :
Etienne Montès, a former press photographer, has been at the head of the family estate since the late 1980s. With a thorough understanding of his terroirs and their potential, he produces a fine range of IGP Côtes Catalanes, from simple fruit wines to large-scale cuvées - such as the famous Commandant Jaubert. The VDNs are very serious, but sometimes find it hard to moderate their warm character. The whole range is sincere and of a high standard. Enthusiasts will find fine, authentic wines capable of ageing very well in the cellar. However, alcoholic heaviness is recurrent, hindering the finesse of expression and leading us to withdraw the star from the domaine. A few technical and stylistic adjustments would undoubtedly suffice to dust off the style of these materials, whose depth of taste is undeniable.

Very pleasant white, lively, but with a little fat to accompany fish. A more reasonable price would be 7/8 €.
