"The elegance of Sauvignon Gris"
"Thirty years of excellence for this estate, and the new generation confirms the high opinion we have of it with this white wine from the estate's flagship cuvée, which is in the running for a Favorite. Made entirely from Sauvignon (80% Sauvignon Gris), it is aged for 8 months on its lees in barrels. A golden wine, complex and delicate on the nose, seductive with its mellow oakiness. Intense, fresh, harmonious and persistent, it finishes with a pleasant bitterness. Elegance and potential." (Le Guide Hachette 2024).

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 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.
