"A fruity treat you'll want to try right away!"
“Highlighted by a spicy note, exotic fruits—pineapple foremost among them—create a pleasing aroma. The exotic fruits, along with apricot and candied fruits, are present on the palate, which is smooth and soft on the attack and fresh as it develops. A well-structured sweet wine that lets the fruit take center stage.” (Le Guide Hachette 2018)

Wine noted (guide 2018) 1*Star (Very successful wine)
Rated Estate: Award-Winning Wines (This producer’s wines regularly receive awards from the guide)
About the wine:
Highlighted by a hint of spice, exotic fruits—especially pineapple—create a pleasing aroma. The exotic fruits, along with apricot and candied fruits, are evident on the palate, which is smooth and soft on the attack and fresh as it develops. A well-structured sweet wine that lets the fruit take center stage.
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.
