This year again, many wines were presented and tasted during the Prix Plaisir Bettane & Desseauve 2023 competition!
The goal of this competition? Find pleasure vintages at the right price! Amateurs and experts are brought together as a jury, and carry out a blind tasting where the only elements revealed are the price range and the region of origin. This jury had the opportunity to discover very high quality vintages . The Plaisir Prize also includes gold, silver and bronze medals rewarding wines and champagnes which deserve to be discovered by consumers keen to taste wines with fair value for money.
We are pleased to announce that we have been awarded 3 medals this year . Indeed, our Collioure Rouges Les Abelles 2019 and the Cuvée St Michel 2020 have won a silver medal , and our ephemeral vintage Collioure Rouge Les Expressions Catalanes 2020 won a gold medal!
Discover the jury's tasting comments:
For Expressions Catalanes 2020 : “A Grenache wine full of finesse and complexity, which remains light and drinkable. It is served with a white meat dish for even more deliciousness. »
For the Cuvée Saint-Michel 2020 : “What a lovely wine with a fresh and distinguished nose, very well constructed, with a lively attack and an undeniable gourmand character. A wine of pleasure. »
For Les Abelles 2019 : “It surprises with its aromatic richness and complexity, but also with its pleasant roundness on the palate and its large volume of fruit. To put in everyone's hands. »
Three more medals which reward and highlight the talented work of our winegrowers, cellar masters and wine merchants.
