"Mansois? Fer-servadou, the grape variety at the heart of Marcillac. Deep red with purple hues, this 2014 vintage releases a very distinctive nose of wild berries and spices with a hint of vegetation. On the palate, it unfurls ripe fruitiness with spicy accents, supported by already mellow tannins. A complete wine with just the right amount of freshness to give it length." (Le Guide Hachette des Vins 2016)

Bettane & Desseauve
Rated estate (2025 guide) 2 stars (A serious and recommendable production, but a little more consistent and uniform than the previous one)
About the estate:
With a committed, ethical, and responsible approach, Lionel Osmin created this eponymous haute couture wine merchant with the idea of breaking free from appellations to better highlight the grape variety and offer a simple and delicious interpretation of wines. Based in Pau, the company produces a varied range of around thirty cuvées, as well as a few Armagnacs. It is responsible for marketing Clos Joliette, a jewel of Jurançon, and the wines of the Berthoumieu estate. The range, crafted by Damiens Sartori, the key figure in winemaking, offers some very fine wines at all price points.

About the estate:
The son of a jeweler from Béarn, Lionel Osmin became an agricultural engineer and in 2010 founded a trading company specializing in wines from the southwestern region of France, from Irouléguy to Bergerac and Madiran to Marcillac. Oenologist Damiens Sartori is in charge of vinification for this extensive range.

Rated estate Selected (Please note that this guide is a ranking and, as such, all the estates listed in it, even those without stars, represent, in our opinion, the excellence of French production.)
About the estate:
While he knows how to make wines from grapes grown elsewhere, Lionel Osmin is at his best when working with local produce, producing precise, refined terroir-driven wines. The Pau-based wine merchant and winegrower also offers a range of single-varietal wines: indigenous varieties, free from appellation restrictions, such as Prunelard, Abouriou, and Mauzac. Finally, Lionel Osmin produces a few curiosities, starting with a natural sweet wine made from Tannat and Malbec.

A very good wine with couscous, and even better the next day with raclette cheese.

Review and opinion by Mr. FREDERIC B. Published on 12/28/2017
A lovely, very fruity nose, followed by a distinct but not harsh acidity on the palate. Long finish with freshness. It deserves a nice piece of red meat on the barbecue. My second bottle confirms the first.

Review and opinion by Mr. OLIVIER G. Published on 07/19/2017
I am looking for the remarkable aspect of this wine. All the specific aromas of this wine are present on the nose, but much less so on the palate. I think that 1 or 2 years in the cellar will allow the juice to blossom.
