"Better still, the Luberon Les Artèmes 2011 is a superb blend of Syrah, Grenache, and Mourvèdre aged in vats and oak barrels. It offers notes of blackberry, spices, licorice, and blackcurrant, with medium body and a voluptuous, textured, and appealing profile. Enjoy this beauty over the next 5 to 7 years." (Wine Advocate - Robert Parker). A cuvée that is full-bodied, rich and elegant. In addition to fruit, a touch of licorice and subtle oak appear, lengthening a fresh and delicious finish...

Bettane & Desseauve
Wine rated (2015 guide) 14/20 (Good wine)
Rated estate (2018 guide) 2 stars (A serious and recommendable production, but a little more consistent and uniform than the previous one)
About wine:
Delicious. Notes of bay leaf and elderberry, crisp and smooth, to be enjoyed for its spontaneous fruitiness.
About the estate:
The estate offers a wide range of wines, all of good quality, which focus more on elegance and aromatic precision than power. The 2014, 2015, and 2016 vintages are further successes for the estate, in all three colors.

About the estate:
In 1989, Yves Rousset-Rouard purchased an old farmhouse and its 8 hectares of vines with the aim of producing a great terroir wine and promoting the Côtes du Luberon appellation, now known as "Luberon." Twenty years later, through hard work and a highly selective choice of plots, he seems to have achieved his goal. His son Alexis has also been helping him on the estate since 1995. Located on the northern slope of the Luberon massif, the 40 hectares under production comprise more than 65 plots, all planted with 14 different grape varieties, with Syrah and Grenache forming the basis. Within the estate grounds is the Corkscrew Museum, which houses 1,200 items dating from the 17th century to the present day.
