Expert opinion

Bettane & Desseauve

Bettane & Desseauve

Domaine rated (guide 2022) 3*Stars (High-quality production that can serve as a benchmark in its sector)

About the domain :

Jean-Luc Baldès continues the family saga of this historic Cahors estate. Most of the 65 hectares are located on the third terraces of Vire, on the banks of the Lot. The rest is on the causse and its whiter soils. While the intelligent selection of plots reflects the estate's heritage, the prince-probus blend gives an accurate idea of the modern, colorful and juicy Cahors. An essential address.

Guide des Vins Gault & Millau

Wine rated (2012 guide) 16/20 (Very good)

About the wine:

On the nose, a very mineral, hot-stone dimension. On the palate, exquisitely silky, with refined tannic definition. A concentrated, yet refined wine.

Rated (2011 guide) 15.5/20 (Good wine)

Rated domain (2022 guide) City

About the wine:

On the Nozières terroir, Les Galets asserts a depth of flesh and robust tannins.

About the domain :

Jean-Luc Baldès was a standard-bearer for Cahors Malbec, striving to express the full potential of his vineyards on the second, third and fourth terraces of the Lot. A guardian of the vineyard's history, the "black wine" and cuvée Probus were for a time Cahors' best-known wines. Today, the estate is focusing on wine tourism and trying to produce more modern cuvées, without really succeeding. We are therefore removing the star this year.
