"A nice balance between sweetness and freshness"
“An outstanding 2016 from start to finish: a lovely golden-yellow color; an intense and complex nose of candied fruit, dried fruit, hazelnut, and vanilla; a rich and smooth palate that is never heavy, with a subtle freshness that provides structure and adds length and vibrancy. A delicious wine with great aging potential.” (Le Guide Hachette des Vins)

Guide Hachette des vins
Wine noted (guide 2019) 2* Favorite (Remarkable wine)
Rated Estate: Award-Winning Wines (This producer’s wines regularly receive awards from the guide)
About the wine:
While the estate boasts an impressive track record in the “ Favorites ” category, it owes this success to its Montravel reds. Jean-François Deffarge proves here that he has also mastered sweet white wines. A stunning 2016 from start to finish: a pleasing golden-yellow color; an intense and complex nose of candied fruit, dried fruit, hazelnut, and vanilla; a rich and smooth palate that is never heavy, with a subtle freshness providing structure and lending length and vibrancy. A delicious wine with great aging potential.
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 handing the reins over 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.

Review and comment by Mr. FREDERIC B. Published on 12/30/2020
Not very interesting, whether on the nose or on the palate. The value for money is well below that of a Coteau de l'Aubance AOP in the Domaine de Montgilet style offered by the website.
