Wine rated (2019 guide) 15/20 (Very good wine)
Rated estate (2020 guide) 2 stars (A serious and recommendable production, but a little more consistent and uniform than the previous one)
About wine:
Beautiful, deep, and flavorful energy, balanced with red fruit notes.
About the estate:
On their family land in the Côtes du Marmandais, Véronique Broutet and her husband Frédéric created the Domaine de Beyssac in 2006. The winery was built in 2009 and the adventure continues today with these 14 hectares of contiguous land, located on a well-exposed hilltop and managed biodynamically since 2017. Everything is harvested by hand and spontaneous, natural vegetation cover is encouraged. The wines produced from this beautiful terroir are dense and smooth. They start out serious and vigorous, then mellow and reveal themselves after three years. Everything was a success in 2015 and 2016.

Rated estate (2020 guide) Award-winning wines (This producer's wines are regularly recognized by the guide)
About the estate:
A successful career change for this "neo-winemaker" who created this estate from scratch in 2009. With his 12.5 hectares of vines in Marmande, he has achieved remarkable technological progress: eco-friendly construction of the winery, organic and biodynamic farming in the vineyard, and winemaking that is as natural as possible.

About wine:
Its intense black cherry flavor gives me goose bumps! Deep, smooth, and ripe, with a hint of licorice on the palate and a tannic structure. The finish is reminiscent of the sweet spice of freshly harvested vine leaves. Brilliant and delicious, I didn't leave a drop.
