Bettane & Desseauve
Wine rated (2026 guide) 90/100
Domaine rated (guide 2025) 2*Stars (A serious and recommendable production, but a little more regular and homogeneous than the previous one)
About the domain :
In a committed, ethical and responsible approach, Lionel Osmin created this eponymous haute couture wine merchant with the idea of freeing himself from appellations to better highlight the grape variety and give a simple, gourmet reading of the wines. Since Pau, the company has vinified a varied range of some thirty cuvées, as well as a number of armagnacs. It also markets Clos Joliette, a Jurançon gem, and Domaine Berthoumieu wines. The range, chiselled by Damiens Sartori, the key man in charge of vinification, offers great successes at all price levels.

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 domain :
Although he knows how to make wines with grapes from elsewhere, it's in the local area that Lionel Osmin is at his best, with precise, honed terroir cuvées. The wine merchant from Pau also offers a range of single-varietal cuvées: autochthonous varieties, freed from the appellation, such as prunelard, abouriou, mauzac... Finally, Lionel Osmin makes a few curiosities, starting with a vin doux naturel made from tannat and malbec.
