Bettane & Desseauve
L'Orée reflects the aromas of the surrounding garrigues, brambleberries and red berries, with hints of smoke and chocolate. A true terroir wine, the palate expresses itself with charm, with a silky, full attack. The floral finish is refreshingly thirst-quenching.

Expert opinion
Bettane & Desseauve
Rated 16/20 (Vintage 2017) (Very good wine)
Domaine rated 1*Star (A serious, recommendable production, in line with what one has the right to expect from its appellation(s))
About the domain :
Clos des Nines is located in Fabrègues, Hérault. Isabelle Mangeart manages this nine-hectare estate, which is dedicated to wine and olive growing. After cool 2015s and warmer 2016s, 2017 finds in the cuvée l'orée a superb balance between the volume on the palate provided by the great ripeness of the grapes and a welcome freshness.
Guide Hachette des vins
Domaine noté (guide 2020) Award-winning wines (The wines of this producer are regularly awarded by the guide)
About the domain :
In 2002, Isabelle Mangeart, head of sales for a multinational food company, decided to change careers and created Clos des Nines from scratch, a name in homage to her three daughters (nines, in Occitan). The 10-hectare vineyard nestles in the heart of the garrigue and olive groves between Sète and Montpellier.

Note and review by M. GILLES D. Published on 16/05/2023
Despite its original presentation, this cuvée struggles to find its place due to its lack of palatability and its simple but relatively expensive style. The palate is fluid, a little austere and catchy, with concentrated, slightly smoky notes of cooked prunes, blackberries and figs, counterbalanced by pronounced acidity. After the hint of heat in the mid-palate, this acidity carries the wine through to the spicy, sage-tinged, but fairly brief finish. L'Orée's simplicity and strong southern character are perfectly suited to a Cevennes pork terrine, or to the rustic mellowness of a traditional Aveyron black pudding tatin, accompanied by a red oak salad. Score = 3.4.
