Bettane & Desseauve
Rated estate (2015 guide): 3*Stars (High-quality production that serves as a benchmark in its sector)
About the estate:
Stéphane Gallet, Marjorie’s husband from Roc des Anges, after leaving Mas Amiel—where he had gained valuable experience managing a vineyard that was new to him at the time—set out on his own and immediately began producing some of the most original and accomplished Maurys of our time, the result of impeccable viticulture and winemaking that leaves nothing to chance.

Estate rated "Recommended" (Wine producer recommended by Robert Parker - The Wine Advocate)
RVF - La Revue du Vin de France / Guide des Meilleurs Vins de France
Wine rated (2015 guide) 17,5/20 (Great wine)
Rated estate (2015 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 wine:
The red Fagayra delights with its natural, unadulterated fruit expression; the 2013 vintage is slightly more lively and crisp than the 2012.
About the estate:
Marjorie and Stéphane Gallet, of the Le Roc des Anges estate, embarked on the adventure of natural sweet wines in 2008: with rare inspiration and an extreme commitment to quality, they craft magnificent expressions of schist in their three Maury cuvées. These wines—two reds and one white—transcend the inherent limitations of fortified winemaking by preserving a brilliance and a mineral smokiness, a term that is clearly apt here. They shed new light on a category that is still too formulaic or conventional, and immediately rank among the very best Maury wines. The second star is well deserved this year.
