Bettane & Desseauve

Rated estate (2026 guide): 2*Stars (A solid, recommendable production, though slightly more consistent and uniform than the previous one)

About the estate:

The Laplace brothers manage this large 65-hectare estate—along with a small adjoining wine merchant business—with great dedication. They have successfully adapted the style of local wines to modern demands, striving for greater balance and precision in the winemaking process. They never lack imagination when it comes to creating wines with character at very reasonable prices.

Guide Hachette des vins

Rated Estate: Award-Winning Wines (This producer's wines regularly receive awards from the guide)

About the estate:

Château d'Aydie is a family business (and a sure bet): four of the Laplace children are now following in the footsteps of their grandfather Frédéric, who was one of the first to sell Madiran by the bottle, with the help of André Daguin, the famous Gascon chef. In addition to the estate, which covers 62 hectares, the family has established a wine trading business.

Review and comment by Mr. GILLES D. Published on 12/18/2025

A slight liveliness on the palate gives way to a round, full-bodied, and velvety mouthfeel, marked by rich flavors that echo the nose (yellow fruits, citrus, honeyed notes, and a hint of vanilla). Surprisingly long finish, enlivened by a subtle bitterness. An affordable alternative to serve with festive foie gras, or just as well with a pavlova topped with exotic fruits. Rating = 3.9.
