Expert opinion
Bettane & Desseauve
Domaine rated (guide 2021) 4*Stars (Top-quality producers, the glories of French winegrowing)
About the domain :
This is the most important private estate in Jurançon, and the most widely distributed brand in fine restaurants and luxury wine shops. Henri Ramonteu has perfected the small-scale production of sweet wines, with their spectacular bouquet and fascinating length on the palate. All share the house style: pure fruitiness and concentration balanced by the vivacity typical of the region. All the best.
