Vintage 2005 | the only Bergerac I ever put in the cellar, after tasting it at Brabantse Wijnsocieteit. After 18 years it still has potential to develop further. Certainly the level of St Emilion Grand Cru or top Cru Bourgeois. It must be difficult when you are a vintner with aspirations to live and work in areas that does not sell at a higher price, like Bergerac. The wine is excellent, deep coloured, laurel and black summerfruit, cherries, a bit rough and stubborn tannins - I popped and poured - and nice aftertaste. I searched for recent years but can only find a white cuvée. Lots of character. | Paired with a burger. — 2 years ago

Color of a young white wine, soft but bright straw-yellow. Mineral and herbal nose. On the palate, true expression of Sauvignon Blanc: Herbal, zesty and lime freshness, fleshy and round. Not overpowering acidity, just enough to keep the structure and the foundation of the wine solid throughout the finish. @sommselect I guess I kind of understand the profile of Sauv Blanc from Kimmeridgian soil. Fascinating... next time will taste a Chablis alongside to taste the similarities. Did a bold pairing with fish curry (paprika, coriander and ginger mainly), went really well especially because the dish did not have any creamy or buttery flavors. The fish has fats that is really oily (very Asian), so that kind of complemented this wine I think! — 6 years ago

Avec une robe jaune, le nez de cette amigne est riche avec des saveurs d’agrumes (mandarine) et de miel. En bouche, une belle structure avec des saveurs d’abricot et une gourmandise en final.
