“With its deep color, this Merlot-dominated red exhibits a very ripe, well-rounded profile, highlighting the fruit’s expression (with very little sulfur) and a hint of minerality.” (Le Guide des bonnes affaires du vin 2015 - Gerbelle & Maurange). A full-bodied wine that retains a crisp edge, with a rich and easy-drinking style!

Bettane & Desseauve

Winery rated 1 star (A high-quality, recommended wine 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, crafted by terroir, without technical fuss, in the Burgundian style.

Rated estate (2021 guide) 1*Star (Up-and-coming stars or quality winemakers producing wines of a high standard—you won’t be disappointed when tasting the wines from these estates)

About the wine:

The 2012 Sens du Fruit, with its delicate fruit, confirms the early tastings where the estate outshone its peers.

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 remarkable freshness, which they offer at very affordable prices. The reds are sulfur-free and contain no additives, even at bottling. This approach is masterfully executed: after aeration, the wines remain clean and well-structured, with perfect, natural acidity.
