Domaine de Beyssac - Marmandais L'Essentiel 2022
2*Étoiles
Hachette
"A handsome man from Marmande!"
“The Malbec and Abouriou add depth to the Merlot in this very alluring 2022, which offers aromas of dark fruit, spices, and smoky oak. More pronounced on the palate, the aging process coats a lovely structure that is elegant, full-bodied, fresh, and interwoven with silky tannins. Ripe yet lively, with a very alluring texture, it can be enjoyed now without waiting too long, even though its aging potential is undeniable.” (Le Guide Hachette 2026).

About the estate:
On their family estate in the Côtes du Marmandais, Véronique Broutet and her husband Frédéric founded Domaine de Beyssac in 2006. The winery was built in 2009, and the journey continues today on 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 natural, spontaneous ground cover is encouraged. The wines 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.

About the wine:
Malbec and Abouriou add depth to the Merlot in this very alluring 2022, which offers aromas of dark fruit, spices, and oak smoke. More pronounced on the palate, the aging process envelops a lovely, elegant, luscious, and fresh structure, interwoven with silky tannins. Ripe yet lively, with a very alluring texture, it’s ready to drink now, though its aging potential is undeniable.
About the estate:
A successful career change for Frédéric Broutet, who built this winery from the ground up in 2009. With his 12.5 ha of vineyards in Marmande, this “new winemaker” has achieved remarkable technological milestones: a green-built winery, organic farming from the very beginning, and biodynamic farming since 2016.
