Bettane & Desseauve
Rated estate (2024 guide) 2 stars (A serious and recommendable production, but a little more consistent and uniform than the previous one)
About the estate:
Pierre Bories has elevated his family estate to the top of the Corbières appellation and has been managing it with a masterful hand since 2001, displaying the same determination and high standards in the vineyards as in the cellar. Comprising a vast 150-hectare estate (including the former terroir of Château des Ollieux), around ten kilometers from Narbonne, the vineyard produces wines of great elegance, from the prestige cuvée to the cuvée or, and even atal-sia, produced in the Corbières-Boutenac appellation, undoubtedly one of the jewels in the estate's crown. The entire range is in perfect harmony, including Le-Champ-de-Murailles, propelling this address among our favorites in the sector.

About the estate:
Founded in 1860 in the Boutenac region, this vast family vineyard, originally part of the Fontfroide Abbey, has remained in the same family ever since. In 1896, a cellar and barrel storehouse were built using stones from the estate's quarry. Jacqueline and François Bories relaunched it in the 1980s, joined in 2001 by their son Pierre. Cultivated without herbicides or pesticides, the vineyard, which is in the process of converting to organic farming, covers 65 hectares.

About the estate:
Pierre Bories took over this vast family estate, which was expanded in 2006 to include the neighboring Les Ollieux vineyard. With a beautiful diversity of terroirs ranging from clay-limestone to rounded pebbles and the Boutenac terroir (red sandstone and limestone), the estate has established itself as a must-visit destination. Over the years, he has developed a complete range of well-crafted artisan wines, Les Murailles, in a significantly cooler area of the appellation, and a more personal project with his eponymous estate. Always full of ideas, Pierre has completely renovated the estate and created La Touketa, a restaurant and tasting area in the heart of the vineyards, open during the season.
Jancis Robinson
Wine rated (2023 guide) 16,5/20
About wine:
Elegantly aromatic, with hints of dried lavender and dusty paths on the nose, as well as dark, sun-drenched fruit, laced with shiso, velvety on the palate. This is Corbières through and through—just rustic enough to make it guttural and sexy.

Note and opinion by Mr. GILLES D. Published on 05/06/2024
Aging in stainless steel vats combined with a sunny 2022 vintage has resulted in a wine bursting with bright, ripe red berries, complemented by notes of sage, while retaining a mineral freshness. The texture is fine, the tannins are mellow and silky without being too powerful, while the finish is sapid and very refreshing. If tasted today, it needs to be aerated to accommodate its slightly wild character and maritime accents with a matelote of eels from the Bages pond in red wine and steamed potatoes.
