One of Languedoc's finest wines!
Bettane & Desseauve 17/20, RVF 16,5/20, Gault Millau 16/20 R.Parker 89/100This sumptuous cuvée, the spearhead of the estate, was born 15 years ago and is a model of its kind. It is made from a parcel-by-parcel selection of Mourvèdre and Syrah grapes from a superb terroir where very low yields of 18 hl/ha ensure optimum grape quality. Today, it represents the most elegant and distinguished wine in the world. Roussillon. Concentrated, rich and fresh, never overpowered by heaviness, this is undoubtedly a wine to be discovered and cellared for the pleasure of sharing.

About the domain :

Estate rated (2008 guide) 1*Star (Stars in the making or quality winegrowers with good production levels, you won't be disappointed when you taste the wines from these estates)
About the domain :
"Under Jérôme Malet's impetus, this estate, which was a pioneer of quality in the region, has returned to the highest level in a racy, well-balanced style. Today, it produces some of the most elegant wines in Roussillon, both dry and sweet. The prestige cuvée Terroir Mailloles, never excessive but the most woody of all, shows great depth and textural finesse in both white and red wines. This harmony is also found in Rivesaltes, both vintage and long-aged wines.
The wines: Terroir Mailloles 2005 white is still marked by its ageing, with fine buttery notes, but has great potential and should be kept for another good year. In red, this cuvée remains the estate's finest. Delicious Muscat de Rivesaltes, full of fruit and perfectly balanced, while La Carbasse 2005 is in the vein of the great vintages".
