“A pure Malbec aged in both concrete tanks and egg-shaped vats. The aging process allows the fruit of these vibrant grapes to shine through: a 2023 vintage bursting with lush fruit and crisp tannins, offering a lively palate.” (Le Guide RVF 2025)

Bettane & Desseauve
Rated 2 stars (A solid, recommendable production, though slightly more conventional and uniform than the previous one)
About the estate:
A classic estate of the appellation, producing robust, tannic Cahors wines, albeit at the expense of a certain austerity in the entry-level wines. The "Expression" cuvée, made from the finest vines on the third terrace, is of exemplary consistency.

About the estate:
According to legend, the branches of a centuries-old oak tree once provided a secluded spot for the romantic trysts of a beautiful woman named Martine. Since 2016, Alain Gayraud has handed the reins to his children, Lise and Benjamin—who bring extensive international experience to the table—to lead this historic estate (founded in 1883), located on the edge of the Lot region. The vineyard covers 37.5 hectares (in the process of converting to organic farming) and faces due south. A pillar of the Cahors appellation.

Rated estate (2026 guide) 1*Star (Up-and-coming stars or quality winemakers producing wines of a high standard—you won’t be disappointed when tasting the wines from these estates)
About the wine:
A pure Malbec aged in both concrete tanks and oval-shaped vats. The aging process allows the fruit of these vibrant grapes to shine through: a 2023 vintage bursting with lush fruit and crisp tannins, offering a lively, vibrant palate.
About the estate:
The future of the Gayraud family estate now lies in the hands of Benjamin and Lise, Alain’s children. The new generation brings greater vitality and modernity to the wines, which focus on fruit. We must commend the progress of this great 37.5-hectare estate, which, aided by climate change, makes the most of its terroir situated on the three terraces of the Lot.

About the wine:
A hint of funk on the nose. Aromas of blueberries and Guinness stout, with a touch of lively acidity and notes of tamarind and tamarillo. Tannins that evoke autumn.

Review by Mr. Gilles D. Published on 12/11/2025
Tandem offers a 100% Malbec that’s a bit rustic yet well-crafted and vibrant, emphasizing the fruit’s crispness and the suppleness of its texture, supported by powerful, silky tannins and a chalky minerality that add extra energy and lend finesse to the finish. The price is still reasonable. Pairs well with a traditional Toulouse cassoulet. Rating = 3.9.
