Expert opinion

Bettane & Desseauve

Bettane & Desseauve

Domain rated (guide 2024) 2*Stars (A serious and recommendable production, but a little more regular and homogeneous than the previous one)

About the domain :

Pierre Bories has raised his family estate to the top of the Corbières appellation, and since 2001 has managed it with a master's hand, displaying the same determination and exacting standards in the vines as he does in the cellar. Consisting of a vast 150-hectare estate (including the former terroir of Château des Ollieux), some ten kilometers from Narbonne, the vineyard produces wines of great elegance, from the cuvée prestige to the cuvée or, right up to atal-sia, produced in the Corbières-Boutenac appellation, unquestionably one of the estate's flagships. The entire range is on the same wavelength, including le-champ-de-murailles, making this one of our favorite addresses in the area.

Domain Rated Award-winning wines (Wines from this producer regularly win awards in the guide)

About the domain :

Founded in 1860 in the Boutenac terroir, this vast family vineyard, originally a dependency of the Abbey of Fontfroide, has remained in the same family ever since. Since 1896, it has had its own cellar and barrel cellar, built with stones from the estate's own quarry. Jacqueline and François Bories relaunched the estate in the 1980s, joined in 2001 by their son Pierre. Cultivated without weedkillers or pesticides, the vineyard, in conversion to organic farming, covers 65 hectares.

Domain rated (guide 2024) Selected (We remind you that this guide is a prize list and as such, all the domains that appear in it, even without a star, represent, in our eyes, the excellence of French production).

About the wine:

Corbières Classique is a generous, well-balanced wine, with notes of yellow fruit and a broad palate.

About the domain :

Pierre Bories took over this vast family estate, enlarged in 2006 by the neighboring vineyard, Les Ollieux. A wide variety of terroirs, from clay and limestone to galets roulés and the Boutenac terroir (red sandstone and limestone), make this estate a must-have. Over the years, he has built up a complete range of wines, including Les Murailles, in a much cooler part of the appellation, and a more personal project with his eponymous domaine. Always full of projects, Pierre has completely renovated the estate and created La Touketa, a restaurant and tasting area in the heart of the vineyards, open seasonally.

Note and review by M. GILLES D. Published on 23/05/2024

A dashing white with a vigorous attack that fades to give way to a pulpy texture and generous citrus notes with a very fine maturity in 2022, on a refreshing mineral thread. Tasteful, yet within easy reach. Pairs well with fried red mullet from the Côte Vermeille with olive oil and basil. Score = 4.
