Bettane & Desseauve

"Duras has a lovely structure, suave and spicy, which blossoms today." (Le Guide Bettane & Desseauve des Vins de France 2018) This forgotten grape variety from the Southwest reveals itself to be juicy and delicate. A lovely discovery!

Expert opinion

Bettane & Desseauve

Wine rated (2019 guide) 16/20 (Very good wine)

About the wine:

The densest red in the range, with great vinosity but without losing the natural, fruity character of the estate's more immediate wines.

RVF - La Revue du Vin de France / Guide des Meilleurs Vins de France

Wine rated (2019 guide) 16/20 (Very good wine)

Domaine rated (guide 2023) 2*Stars (These great estates, often blessed with fabulous terroirs, are must-haves which, thanks to their consistency and the excellence of their production, must be included in the cellars of discerning wine lovers).

About the wine:

Spicy nose, black pepper, slight reduction, undergrowth. Full-bodied, intensely fruity, black fruits, grainy tannins, lovely sweets, cocoa length, good power, mineral touch.

About the domain :

The Plageoles family has left its mark on the recent history of wine in Gaillac. Robert, then Bernard and Myriam, who brilliantly took over from him, were pioneers in the defense of local grape varieties and ancestral winemaking techniques. Bernard's sons, Florent and Romain, are gradually taking over, defending the twelve varieties grown in their vineyards, including the delicious prunelart, the extremely rare verdanel and the mauzac quartet (green, red, pink and black). Away from fashion and the beaten track, the estate continues to produce wines with strong personalities, exclusively from a single variety. This work of the head, the heart and the hands is fully reflected in a range of cuvées aiming for purity, uprightness and originality.

Note and review by M. BRUNO L. Published on 24/01/2022

I loved the first bottles I opened. A lovely full body with lots of freshness. I'm trying to keep the last ones I have left a little longer.
