"A fine star for this blend of Merlot (45%), Malbec (30%) and Cabernet Franc. After twelve months in oak, it boasts a dense, dark color and reveals an elegant nose, blending well-mixed breeding notes with floral nuances and a hint of undergrowth. Not to be outdone, the palate is structured, full-bodied and fresh at the same time, supported by pleasant tannins and good acidity, woody without excess, showing real power for the vintage and the appellation".

Bettane & Desseauve
3*Star rating (High-quality production, a benchmark in its sector)
About the domain :
Sylvie and Jean-François Deffarge have been working hard since 1981 to raise the Montravel flag on this estate inherited from Jean-François' father. Today, it covers 52 hectares on the slopes and plateau of Vélines. The vineyard has not yet gone organic, but is striving to do the best it can. The next generation is already in the starting blocks: Quentin and Benjamin are now involved in the life of the estate and are taking it in hand. Their extensive, well-structured range enables them to offer wines for every occasion. The new winery will enable them to push their vision even further, with the addition of some experimental cuvées.

About the domain :
A very old family estate (1749) located on the heights of Montravel, this vast domaine is today one of the benchmarks in the Bergerac region, thanks to the work carried out since 1990 (when it left the cooperative) by Jean-François Deffarge, a "self-taught oenologist", who is now handing over to his children Benjamin and Quentin. The vineyard (50 ha) extends over 2 very distinct terroirs: clay-limestone slopes and a boulbène plateau. In organic conversion.
