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

Note and opinion by Mr. GILLES D. Published on 05/23/2024
A lively white wine with a vigorous attack that fades to give way to a lush texture and generous citrus notes, with beautiful maturity in 2022 and a refreshing mineral edge. It is tasteful yet accessible. Pairs beautifully with fried red mullet from the Vermeille coast with olive oil and basil. Rating = 4.
