Expert opinion

Bettane & Desseauve

Bettane & Desseauve

Domaine rated 2*Stars (A serious and recommendable production, but a little more regular and homogeneous than the previous one)

About the domain :

Philippe Casteja's estate is one of Pomerol's great classics. It benefits from the same technical care as its big brother, Château du Domaine de l'Église. The wines age with elegance and classicism. Recent vintages have been of a high standard. We recommend it for its reliability and excellent value for money.

Domaine rated (2020 guide) 1*Star (Very successful wine)

About the domain :

From a sandy-gravel terroir, composed of 93% Merlot and a pinch of Cabernet Franc, this superb 2016, with its deep color and purple highlights, presents an intense nose of candied fruit, spices and toasty notes. Full-bodied and persistent on the palate, also centered on spicy fruit, it reveals a fleshy texture, structured by rich tannins that guarantee a happy evolution.

Rated domain (2009 guide) City

About the domain :

The estate produces a supple, very flavorful Pomerol, with a strong truffle bouquet reminiscent of Clinet, at a much more affordable price. Its vineyards on sandy-gravel soils are excellent.
