Bettane & Desseauve
Rated estate (2020 guide) 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.

About wine:
Round, supple, and slightly spicy, this wine offers simple, delicious pleasure and good taste. It is best enjoyed young, paired with roast poultry or pork chops, for example.
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-et-Garonne department. The vineyard covers 37.5 hectares, facing south. A pillar of the Cahors appellation.
