Expert opinion
Bettane & Desseauve
Domaine rated (guide 2022) 3*Stars (High-quality production that can serve as a benchmark in its sector)
About the domain :
Immediately adjacent to Giscours and Siran in terms of the location of its vineyards, this fifth growth classified in 1855 had belonged since 1988 to MAIF, which sold it in early 2019 to the Breton Samsic group, headed by Christian Roulleau. The remarkable technical team remains in place around Philippe Roux and Laurent Fortin, setting an example in many respects; they have made major efforts to renovate the premises, with great respect for the environment, and to modernize the technical buildings, complemented by a level of viticulture and vinification that we'd like to see more of. The latest vintages have produced complete wines, acclaimed by the critics: a powerful, harmonious grand vin and two second wines, aurore, close to the style of the first, and la-bastide, more supple.
Guide Hachette des vins
Domaine noté (guide 2021) Award-winning wines (The wines of this producer are regularly awarded by the guide)
About the domain :
After its glory days in the 19th century, this cru fell into lethargy in the first half of the 20th century, before being reborn thanks to the Miailhe family, who came from Siran, the Châtelier family, who arrived from Champagne, and finally, in 1989, to MAIF, who entrusted management to André Lurton in 1992. The latter's daughter, Christine Lurton Bazin de Caix, ran the estate between 2005 and 2013. Laurent Fortin replaced her, and in 2014 André Lurton sold his stake to MAIF. The vineyard covers 45 hectares in a single block.

Rated wine (guide 2025) 89/100
Domaine rated (guide 2022) 1*Star (Stars in the making or quality winemakers with good production levels, you won't be disappointed when you taste the wines from these estates)
About the domain :
The cru has been solidly in the running for several vintages now. Laurent Fortin, the cru's director since 2014, is multiplying initiatives, experimenting and expanding the range. He has succeeded in giving new impetus to the cru, which can now be classed as a sure bet. Now in the hands of the Roulleau family, the cru is set to make further progress, with a highly advanced approach to vine cultivation.
