Benjamin and Quentin, the "Frangins flingueurs" (the gun-toting brothers), have brought the house down with this red wine from Périgord, produced by the house using only Cabernet Sauvignon grapes. "Brutal"? As the label suggests, echoing the cult film? Yes, if by that you mean color, power, and density. In the glass, there are also ripe fruits and a hint of spice. On the palate, there are red fruits galore, cherries, plums and sweetness. Made for immediate consumption, this wine could be kept." (Le Guide Hachette des Vins 2022)

3-star rating (High-quality production, serving as a benchmark in its sector)

About the estate:

Since 1981, Sylvie and Jean-François Deffarge have spared no effort in flying the flag for Montravel on this estate inherited from Jean-François's father. Today, it covers 52 hectares located on the hillsides and plateau of Vélines. The estate has not yet made the leap to organic farming but strives to do its best. 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 over. The extensive and well-structured range allows them to offer wines suitable for all occasions. The new winery will enable them to take their vision even further, notably with the development of a few experimental vintages.

About wine:

Benjamin and Quentin, the "Frangins flingueurs" (the gun-toting brothers), have caused a sensation with this Périgord red, which breaks with the house tradition by relying solely on Cabernet Sauvignon. "Brutal"? As the label suggests, echoing the cult film? Yes, if by that you mean color, power, and density. In the glass, there are also ripe fruits and a hint of spice. On the palate, there are red fruits galore, cherries, plums, and smoothness. Made for immediate consumption, this wine could be kept.

About the estate:

A very old family property (1749) located on the heights of Montravel, this vast estate is now 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 the reins to his sons Benjamin and Quentin. The vineyard (50 hectares) covers two very distinct terroirs: clay-limestone slopes and a high plateau of boulbène. In conversion to organic farming.

Review and opinion by Mr. STEPHANE V. Published on 08/16/2022

I wasn't impressed. I found it too strong on the palate. Perhaps it needs to age a little longer to smooth out the rough tannins. I prefer other wines from the Bergerac region.
