Bettane & Desseauve

Wine rated (2019 guide) 15/20 (Very good wine)

Rated 2*Stars (A solid, recommendable production, though a bit more consistent and uniform than the previous one)

About the wine:

Beautiful, deep, and rich energy, with a balanced profile of red fruit flavors.

About the estate:

On their family estate in the Côtes du Marmandais, Véronique Broutet and her husband Frédéric founded the Domaine de Beyssac in 2006. The winery was built in 2009, and the adventure continues today with these 14 hectares of contiguous vineyards, situated on a well-exposed hillside and cultivated using biodynamic methods since 2017. All grapes are harvested by hand, and spontaneous, natural ground cover is encouraged. The wines produced from this beautiful terroir are dense and smooth. They start out serious and vigorous, then mellow and reveal their full character after three years. The 2015 and 2016 vintages are particularly successful.

Guide Hachette des vins

Rated estate (2026 guide) Award-winning wines (This producer’s wines regularly receive awards from the guide)

About the estate:

A successful career change for Frédéric Broutet, who built this winery from the ground up in 2009. With his 12.5 hectares of vineyards in Marmande, this “new winemaker” has achieved remarkable technological milestones: an eco-friendly winery, organic farming from the very beginning, and biodynamic farming starting in 2016.

Wine rated (2018 guide) 16/20 (Very good wine)

About the wine:

Beautiful maturity and incredible potential. Aromas of red fruit confit and cocoa powder on a powerful yet silky structure. Intense finish.

Jancis Robinson

Wine rated (2019 guide) 16,5/20

About the wine:

Its intense black cherry flavor gives me goosebumps! Deep, smooth, and ripe, it has a hint of licorice on the palate and a tannic structure. The finish evokes the sweet, spicy flavor of freshly harvested grape leaves. Brilliant and delicious—I didn’t leave a single drop.
