“This is a serious, dense, and powerful wine with a structure that’s certainly rich but will continue to smooth out with cellaring, blending into this beautiful, flavorful fruitiness. For those who can’t wait, decanting will allow it to pair well with some fine meats in sauce. ” (Les Meilleurs Vins de France – Gault Millau). A dense and powerful Bergerac, with lovely aromas of black fruit and licorice.

Bettane & Desseauve
Wine rated (2014 guide) 15/20 (Very good wine)
Winery rated 1*Star (A high-quality, recommendable production that lives up to what one would expect from its appellation(s))
About the wine:
This pure Merlot, made from a selection of plots on marl soil, has been aged for two years in oak. Full-bodied and well-structured, with notes of black fruit and licorice, it is round and full-bodied without being heavy. The finish has good tension.
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, to protect 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 according to the 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 wine:
Le Coeur de Foudre 2010, a pure Merlot from a specific micro-terroir, has a magnificently refined texture.
About the estate:
Located on clay-limestone soil overlooking the right bank of the Dordogne, this estate stands out as one of the driving forces behind Bergerac’s renaissance. 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 crisp and well-structured, with perfect, natural acidity.
