Bettane & Desseauve
Rated estate (2021 guide) 3 stars (High-quality production, serving as a benchmark in its sector)
About the estate:
The friendly Cédric Gravier has been managing this family estate since 1996 with great open-mindedness and an innate sense of hospitality. With him comes a big change, and the grapes that were previously taken to the cooperative will now be vinified on the estate. This rebirth was made possible thanks to his grandfather, who knew every vine like the back of his hand. Today, the estate covers nearly 60 hectares and Cédric began converting it to organic farming in 2017. Located in the western part of the appellation, on mainly clay-limestone soil, the estate's varied plots ensure the diversity of expression of Mourvèdre, Bandol's flagship grape variety, with old vines accounting for 90% of the total.

A 60-hectare family vineyard, divided into around a hundred plots, whose grapes were taken to the cooperative until the arrival of Cédric Gravier, who took over from his grandparents in 1996. Currently converting to organic farming.

About the estate:
For many years, the Gravier-Piche family brought the fruits of their labor to the cooperative winery. When Cédric Gravier returned to the family estate in 1996, he decided to make his own wines and bottle the expression of old Mourvèdre grapes, mainly from La Cadière d'Azur. Over the years, his entrepreneurial spirit led him to vinify the entire 58 hectares. With flavors more reminiscent of strawberries than citrus fruits, the rosés are rich in both color and concentration. The richness and texture of these early-ripening terroirs are reflected in dense reds with seductive tannins, illustrating the clayey softness of the terroir. A classic that appeals to all, yet has not sold its Mediterranean soul.
