Prieuré Saint Jean de Bébian is one of the most famous wine estates in the Languedoc and one of the first to be recognised as a quality wine producer. The wine guru Robert Parker has called it one of the greatest wines in Languedoc, but one has to admit that Parker is perhaps not very up-to-date on the Languedoc of today. The Prieuré St Jean de B has bee sold to a Russian investor (oligark?) via a company called Sinara (that according to some sources is Swiss and to others is Russian). Perhaps we can hope for renewed investments in the Prieuré that in recent years seems to have mostly coasted along.
