Expert opinion

Bettane & Desseauve

Bettane & Desseauve

Domain rated (guide 2021) 2*Stars (A serious and recommendable production, but a little more regular and homogeneous than the previous one)

About the domain :

Diane and her sister Constance are the third generation of women to dynamically manage the 50 hectares or so of l'Engarran, scattered around a beautiful folly built in the 18th century. Diane, in charge of vinification, is constantly striving for greater precision. We can only admire the energy and healthy ambition that drive the two sisters. The style highlights the great ripeness of the grapes, making the wines opulent. We note a progression in the quality of the tannins, which are much finer and rounder. More freshness in the wines will further enhance their drinkability. The cuvée with the château's name is our favorite, so don't miss it.

About the domain :

Ch. de l'Engarran is an 18th-century Montpellier "folie", listed on the Inventaire national des Monuments historiques. Three generations of women have made this 55-hectare estate one of the finest addresses in the Grés of Montpellier and Saint-Georges-d'Orques.

A soft attack and a dense mid-palate that ends on a saline, acidic finish. A surprising sauvignion
