Expert opinion

Bettane & Desseauve

Wine rated (2019 guide) 15/20 (Very good wine)

Domaine rated (2020 guide) 2*Stars (A serious and recommendable production, but a little more regular and homogeneous than the previous one)

About the wine:

Beautiful, deep, flavorful energy, balanced with red fruits.

About the domain :

Véronique Broutet and her husband Frédéric created the Domaine de Beyssac in 2006, on their family's land in the Côtes du Marmandais region. The winery was built in 2009, and the adventure continues today with these 14 hectares in a single block, situated on a well-exposed hillside and managed biodynamically since 2017. Everything is harvested by hand, and spontaneous, natural plant cover is encouraged. The wines produced from this beautiful terroir are dense and suave. They are born serious and vigorous, then melt and reveal themselves after three years. All is well in 2015 and 2016.

Guide Hachette des vins

Domaine noté (guide 2020) Award-winning wines (The wines of this producer are regularly awarded by the guide)

About the domain :

A successful reconversion for this "neo-winemaker" who created this domaine ex nihilo in 2009. With 12.5 ha of vines in Marmande, he has a remarkable technological track record: eco-construction of the winery, organic and biodynamic farming in the vineyards and the most natural winemaking possible.

Beautiful maturity and great potential. Confit of red fruit on the nose, cocoa powder on a powerful yet silky structure. Intense finish.

Jancis Robinson

Wine rated (2019 guide) 16.5/20

About the wine:

Its black cherry intensity gives me goose bumps! Deep, sweet and ripe, there's a hint of licorice on the palate and a tannic structure. The finish recalls the sweet spiciness of freshly harvested vine leaves. Brilliant and delicious, I didn't leave a drop.
