Expert opinion
Bettane & Desseauve
Domaine rated (2020 guide) 2*Stars (A serious and recommendable production, but a little more regular and homogeneous than the previous one)
About the domain :
Founded in 1902 by Hubert Dousseau, the estate is now run by two sisters with very complementary characters: Corinne, in charge of the vines and the winery, and Brigitte, in charge of administration (and ducks, for which she makes excellent preparations). As the estate has grown over the years, and now covers 23 hectares, the winery has followed suit, consisting today of a series of rooms, but equipped with modern facilities. The proof: in 2019, they should be awarded the HVE3 label.
Guide Hachette des vins
Wine rated (guide 2024) 1*Star (Very successful wine)
Domaine noté (guide 2024) Award-winning wines (The wines of this producer are regularly awarded by the guide)
About the wine:
The only tannat at work in this expressive Madiran, open to red fruits enhanced by spices and smoky notes. Supple, round and well-fruited on the palate, supported by a fine freshness, tannins and well-established oak.
About the domain :
In 1902, Hubert Dousseau acquired the estate. Since 1995, Brigitte and Corinne, his great-granddaughters, have managed a 22-hectare vineyard. They have converted a small Gascon house in the heart of the vineyards into a gîte, and offer not only wine, but also foies gras, confits and duck breasts.

These winemakers who use new barrels to make a style statement are a pain.
