Bettane & Desseauve
Rated 2*Stars (A solid, recommendable wine, though slightly more consistent and uniform than the previous one)
About the estate:
A classic estate in the appellation, where robust, tannic Cahors wines are produced, albeit at the cost of a certain austerity in the entry-level 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 regularly receive awards from the guide)
About the estate:
According to legend, the branches of a century-old oak tree here 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 department. The vineyard covers 37.5 hectares (in the process of converting to organic farming) and faces due south. A pillar of the Cahors appellation.

Wine rated (2026 guide) 92/100
Rated estate (2026 guide) 1*Star (Rising stars or high-quality winemakers producing wines of a good standard—you won’t be disappointed when you taste the wines from these estates)
About the wine:
The red Tandem features powerful tannins; some of its grapes are vinified in oval tanks to bring out the fruit's brightness.
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 made by this great 37.5-hectare estate, which—aided by climate change—is making the most of its terroir, situated on the three terraces of the Lot River.

Review and comment by Mr. GILLES D. Posted on 12/11/2025
Tandem offers a 100% Malbec that’s a bit rugged but 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.
