"This is a serious, dense, powerful wine with a rich texture that will smooth out further in the cellar to blend into this beautiful, flavorful fruit mass. For those who are impatient, decanting will allow it to be paired with some fine meats in sauce. (Les Meilleurs Vins de France - Gault Millau). A dense and powerful Bergerac, with beautiful aromas of black fruit and licorice.

Bettane & Desseauve
Wine rated (2014 guide) 15/20 (Very good wine)
Winery rated 1*Star (A serious, recommendable production, consistent with what one would expect from its appellation(s))
About wine:
Two years of lightning for this pure Merlot from a selection of plots on marl soil. Full-bodied and well-structured, with black fruit and licorice notes, it is round and full without being heavy. Good tension on the finish.
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 rated (2014 guide) 16/20 (Very good wine)
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 wine:
Le Coeur de Foudre 2010, a pure Merlot from a specific micro-terroir, has a magnificent finesse.
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.
