Bettane & Desseauve
Rated estate (2020 guide): 3*Stars (High-quality production that serves as a benchmark in its sector)
About the estate:
When he took over his father’s vineyards, Marc Penavayre wanted to evolve the style of the local wines toward more refined, more elegant products—a trend that was also evident in other villages in the Southwest during the 1980s and 1990s. This began with greater attention to the vineyards, which have been certified organic since 2011. It also involved rethinking the grape varieties, giving pride of place to the local Négrette and planting white varieties that are sure to surprise. Finally, it involved a more balanced use of oak barrels. The entire range is guided by a commitment to promoting forgotten grape varieties and producing wines that are enjoyable even when young, all executed with consummate skill.

Rated Estate (2021 Guide) Award-Winning Wines (This producer's wines regularly receive awards from the guide)
About the estate:
An agricultural engineer and oenologist, Marc Penavayre breathed new life into the family estate, which he took over in 1991, restructuring and expanding it. His son Thibaut joined him in 2019. The vineyard now spans 26 hectares and completed its transition to organic farming in 2012.

Rated estate (2021 guide) 1*Star (Up-and-coming stars or high-quality winemakers producing wines of a high standard—you won’t be disappointed when you taste the wines from these estates)
About the estate:
A driving force behind the revival of the Fronton region for over twenty years, Marc Penavayre offers a unique perspective on and interpretation of the local grape variety, Négrette. Certified organic since 2011 and now joined by his son Thibaut, Marc takes another step forward each year in refining the quality of his grapes. The wines remain juicy and approachable; the cuvées—whose names are sometimes unpronounceable without the help of an Occitan dictionary—now define Fronton’s identity. Constantly evolving and produced without synthetic inputs, the range offers something for everyone, regardless of their tasting preferences. This year, we are awarding the estate its first star.

A nice aperitif wine (not too sweet), though it lacks originality and complexity
