Jonc-Blanc - Fleur 2019
90/100
RVF
"Surprising!"
Unique in character, Fleur reveals fruity notes of pear and citrus, as well as spring white flowers—a far cry from the varietal aromas typically associated with Sauvignon. On the palate, it is rich, full-bodied, and generous, with a fresh, briny finish that makes this wine very easy to drink. A wine for lovers of natural-style wines!

Bettane & Desseauve
Winery rated 1*Star (A high-quality, recommendable production that lives up to what one would expect from its appellation(s))
About the estate:
Isabelle Carles and Franck Pascal, who moved to Vélines in 2000, have chosen to produce pure, sulfur-free wines that are both easy to drink and fruity—wines meant to be enjoyed. Certified biodynamic since the 2011 vintage, the 19-hectare estate has always been managed according to the principles of organic farming, in order to preserve both the environment and their health. It was a wise decision, for without falling into the trap of “natural wine”—where fermentation runs wild—they produce a lovely, fairly consistent range of wines, crafted with a focus on terroir, without technical fuss, in the Burgundian style.

Rated estate (2021 guide) 1*Star (Up-and-coming stars or high-quality winemakers producing wines of a high standard—you won’t be disappointed when you taste the wines from these estates)
About the estate:
Located on clay-limestone soil overlooking the right bank of the Dordogne, this estate has emerged as one of the driving forces behind Bergerac’s revival. Isabelle Carles and Franck Pascal craft lively, pure wines with intense character and great freshness, which they offer at very affordable prices. The reds are sulfur-free and contain no additives, even at bottling. This approach is executed with precision: after aeration, the wines remain clean and well-structured, with perfect, natural acidity.

Review by Ms. PATRICIA L. Posted on September 25, 2021
In my opinion, this wine has one major flaw: it has a very high level of volatile acidity, which gives it a harsh, off-putting quality. We weren't able to drink it, which is a shame because the wine had good body and great potential.
