Bettane & Desseauve
Cet assemblage de Grenache et de Syrah sur sols calcaires durs présente des notes intenses de fruits (raisin frais, cerise mûre) relevées par des notes de laurier. Un rouge doté d’une attaque délicate, aérienne, fruitée et mentholée, des tanins soyeux, se terminant sur une finale à la persistance aromatique remarquable. Friandise et pur plaisir sont au RDV !

Expert opinion
Bettane & Desseauve
Vin noté 91/100 (Millésime 2020)
Graded area (2024 guide) 2*Stars (A serious and recommendable production, but a little more regular and homogeneous than the previous one)
About the domain :
After Bernard Durand, who accompanied the Pic Saint-Loup's conversion from sheep-dominated polyculture to its recognition as a quality wine-growing zone, Régis Valentin, his nephew, has taken over the technical reins. Without fanfare, this is an estate to seek out for its powerful yet tasty Cuvée Vieilles Vignes, its Clos des Combes and its Grande Cuvée. The Cuvée Madame is even more ambitious, and the rosé is consistently delicious.
Guide Hachette des vins
Graded area (2024 guide) Award-winning wines (Wines from this producer regularly win awards in the guide)
About the domain :
Régis Valentin, oenologist and cellar master, took over the estate created in 1960 by the Durand-Valentin families in 2001. He produces wines from 80 ha of vines (in organic conversion since 2019) occupying a beautiful terroir of hard limestone and red clay. A sure bet in the Languedoc.
