Bettane & Desseauve

Winery rated 2 stars (A serious and recommendable production, but a little more consistent and uniform than the previous one)

About the estate:

A classic property of the appellation, producing robust, tannic Cahors wines, at the expense of a certain austerity in the basic wines. The Expression cuvée, made from the best vines on the third terrace, is of exemplary consistency.

Rated estate (2026 guide) Award-winning wines (This producer's wines are regularly awarded by the guide)

About the estate:

According to legend, the branches of a hundred-year-old oak tree provided shelter for the romantic trysts of a beautiful woman named Martine. In 2016, Alain Gayraud handed over the reins to his children Lise and Benjamin, who brought with them a wealth of experience gained abroad, to run this estate with ancient origins (1883), located on the edge of the Lot region. The vineyard covers 37.5 hectares (in conversion to organic farming), facing south. A pillar of the Cahors appellation.

Rated estate (2026 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 future of the Gayraud family estate is now in the hands of Alain's children, Benjamin and Lise. The new generation brings greater energy and modernity to the wines, which focus on fruitiness. We must applaud the progress made by this large 37.5-hectare estate which, aided by climate change, is making the most of its terroir located on the three terraces of the Lot.
