Jonc-Blanc - Racine 2018
90/100
RVF
This cuvée, made from a Bordeaux blend (Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon), strives for the perfect balance between concentration, freshness, and power. It should be decanted to allow it time to express its full complexity and aromas of blackcurrant buds, raspberry, sap, and mocha. For those who are patient, you will be surprised by its potential over time!

Powerful and rich with a lovely crispness—slightly sparkling upon opening due to the protective gas, which will evaporate after decanting or a few minutes in the glass.

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.

Wine rating (2021 guide) 90/100 (2017 vintage)
Rated estate (2021 guide) 1*Star (Up-and-coming stars or quality winemakers producing good wines; you won't be disappointed when tasting the wines from these estates)
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.
