"A real treat!"

“A standout wine for this vintage, blending Merlot (45%), Malbec (30%), and Cabernet Franc. After twelve months in oak, it boasts a dark, dense color and reveals an elegant nose, blending well-integrated oak notes with floral nuances and a hint of forest floor. The palate is equally impressive: structured, full-bodied, and fresh all at once, supported by pleasant tannins and lovely acidity, with just the right amount of oak, it displays real power for both the vintage and the appellation.” (Le Guide Hachette des Vins)

Rated Estate: Award-Winning Wines (This producer's wines regularly receive awards from the guide)

About the wine:

A standout wine for this vintage, blending Merlot (45%), Malbec (30%), and Cabernet Franc. After aging for twelve months in oak, it boasts a dark, dense color and reveals an elegant nose, blending well-integrated oak notes with floral nuances and a hint of forest floor. The palate is equally impressive: structured, full-bodied, and fresh all at once, supported by pleasant tannins and lovely acidity, with just the right amount of oak, it displays real power for both the vintage and the appellation.

About the estate:

A very old family estate (1749) located on the hills above Montravel, this vast property is now one of the leading names in the Bergerac region, thanks to the work carried out since 1990 (when the estate left the cooperative) by Jean-François Deffarge, a “self-taught oenologist,” who is now passing the torch to his sons Benjamin and Quentin. The vineyard (50 ha) spans two distinct terroirs: clay-limestone slopes and a high plateau of boulbène soil. Currently in the process of converting to organic farming.
