Expert opinion
Bettane & Desseauve
3*Star rating (High-quality production, a benchmark in its sector)
About the domain :
As at Fonroque (Saint-Émilion), manager Alain Moueix, a talented viticultural engineer and oenologist from a large family of Libourne winegrowers and merchants, contributes his commitment, expertise and know-how. The essential contribution of biodynamic viticulture has put the progression of this cru on an upward quality trajectory, earning it a well-deserved promotion. The resulting wines are lively and elegant. The latest vintages are proving charming.

Domaine rated (guide 2023) 1*Star (Stars in the making or quality winemakers with a good level of production, you won't be disappointed when you taste the wines from these estates)
About the domain :
Located at the northern entrance to Libourne, this large estate is run by Alain Moueix. He applies the same viticultural philosophy as at Château Fonroque in Saint-Émilion. The vineyard was certified organic in 2015, then biodynamic in 2018. Driven to elegance and measure by the very nature of the Mazeyres terroir, the wines have reached a new level in recent vintages. We're under the spell of these harmonious Pomerols, civilized and natural at the same time, with a breathtaking finesse of flavor. It's time for our first star.
