Bettane & Desseauve
Rated estate (2020 guide) 1*Star (A high-quality, recommendable wine that lives up to what one would expect from its appellation(s))
About the estate:
Philippe Fezas has been tending to his vineyards since 1995, the year he took the plunge and added the role of winemaker to his position as a consultant for Seguin-Moreau. Committed to producing expressive wines sold to wine shops and fine restaurants, he carefully plans his vineyard layout, bucking the trend of surrounding production. His two slopes face the Pyrenees and feature a variety of soils ranging from fine clay (the Côte d’Heux) to more calcareous soils (white earth).
Guide Hachette des vins
Rated estate (2022 guide) Award-winning wines (This producer’s wines are regularly recognized by the guide)
About the estate:
As the heir to four generations of winemakers who have been based here since 1893, Philippe Fezas looks out from his 50-hectare estate at the small 13th-century church in the nearby hamlet of Heux. A gentle breeze, the chiroula, blows through the rows of vines, drying the grapes that will yield exceptional flocs, Armagnacs, and Côtes de Gascogne. A sure bet.

About the wine:
Pale color with straw-colored highlights. An expressive nose with notes of pear and peach, framed by hints of acacia. A beautiful blend of ripe and fresh flavors, with rich fruit and a smooth, lively finish. A full-bodied wine that delivers immediate pleasure. Perfect as an aperitif or with light appetizers.
