Expert opinion
Bettane & Desseauve
Rated (2018 guide) 15/20 (Very good wine)
Domaine rated (2018 guide) 2*Stars (A serious and recommendable production but a little more regular and homogeneous than the previous one)
About the wine:
Superb, very pure nose of citrus fruit, white fruit, flint and aniseed. The palate is up to the task, clean, fleshy, with great fruit and a long, lively finish. Long-lasting and well-balanced.
About the domain :
Through its flagship cuvées such as N°1, or the châteaux it brings to the top of their appellation, Dourthe is a house with a sure signature.
