What do three stars mean in the Guide Hachette?
Every year the Guide Hachette des Vins selects wines tasted blind by panels of professionals. One star marks a very successful wine, two stars a remarkable wine, three stars an exceptional wine. Three stars is the guide’s highest rating.
Bandol Rosé 2025: the guide’s review
The guide notes that Vianney Benoist combined maceration, saignée and direct pressing to reach the ideal balance. It describes a bouquet of passion fruit, flint and dill, honeyed peach and citrus on a broad, structured palate, and a rosé built for ageing, with a rare presence.
Altum 2023: the guide’s review
Altum is a selection of old Mourvèdre vines from the highest plots of the estate. The guide describes a heady nose of herbs, juniper and macerated red fruit, a palate built on firm tannins with a touch of liquorice and fine acidity, and a vigorous Bandol for the cellar.
