“ “We rediscover the vibrancy, joy, and purity of Les Sens du Fruit 2014, a delicious, juicy, and distinctive white.” (Le Guide des Meilleurs Vins de France 2016 - RVF) A white wine with a lovely length on the palate—rich, full-bodied, and generous—that retains good freshness with a fairly pronounced mineral and salty note on the finish... Very charming!

Bettane & Desseauve

Winery rated 1*Star (A serious, recommendable production, consistent with what one would expect from its appellation(s))

About the estate:

Isabelle Carles and Franck Pascal, who moved to Vélines in 2000, chose to produce pure, sulfur-free wines that are both easy to drink and fruity—wines that are meant to be enjoyed. Certified biodynamic since the 2011 vintage, the 19-hectare estate has always been run according to the principles of organic farming, in order to preserve the environment and their health. They have done well, because without falling into the trap of natural wines, whose fermentation processes can get out of hand, they produce a lovely, fairly consistent range of wines, crafted according to terroir, without technicality, in the Burgundian style.

About wine:

We rediscover the vibrancy, joy, and purity of Les Sens du Fruit 2014, a delicious, juicy, and distinctive white wine.

About the estate:

Located on clay-limestone soil overlooking the right bank of the Dordogne River, this estate has become one of the driving forces behind the revival of Bergerac. Isabelle Carles and Franck Pascal produce lively, pure wines with intense flavors and great freshness, which they offer at very affordable prices. The reds are sulfur-free and made without additives, even at bottling. This approach is masterfully executed: after aeration, the wines remain clean and well-structured, with perfect, natural acidity.

Review by Mr. LOIC C. Posted on September 8, 2020

Tasted again in 2019 and then in 2020. The effervescence has faded, giving way to a well-balanced wine.
