Bergerac
The Bergerac vineyards are crossed from east to west by the Dordogne River and watered by a number of its tributaries. Geologically, the region's outcrops are essentially Tertiary and Quaternary in age. Bergerac 's vineyards stretch across sun-drenched hillsides (boulbènes and the limestone terreforts of the Monbazillac hillsides) and plateaus (Tertiary limestone plateaus and Quaternary gravels) on both banks of the Dordogne. The surface area of Bergerac vineyards in production is around 13,000 hectares, all Bergerac A.O.C. wines combined, including 7,500 hectares for Bergerac red A.O.C. wines and 5,500 hectares for Bergerac white A.O.C. wines.
The grape varieties used for red Bergerac wine are Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Merlot and, to a lesser extent, Côt or Malbec, and more rarely Fer Servadou, Mérille or Périgord. For Bergerac white wine , the grape varieties used are Sémillon, Sauvignon, Muscadelle and, in very small proportions, Ondenc and Chenin blanc. Ugni blanc is an accessory grape variety (maximum 25%). The percentage of Sauvignon in the vineyard must be at least equal to that of Ugni blanc if the latter is present. For all Bergerac A.O.C. wines, at least two grape varieties must be blended together. The qualities of the appellation can be fully appreciated, thanks in particular to the vintages offered by Château Tour des Gendres, Château Moulin Caresse and Domaine de L'Ancienne Cure.

"A fine star for this blend of Merlot (45%), Malbec (30%) and Cabernet Franc. After twelve months in oak, it boasts a dense, dark color and reveals an elegant nose, blending well-mixed breeding notes with floral nuances and a hint of undergrowth. Not to be outdone, the palate is structured, full-bodied and fresh at the same time, supported by pleasant tannins and good acidity, woody without excess, showing real power for the vintage and the appellation". (Le Guide Hachette des Vins)

L'Ancienne Cure - Bergerac L'Abbaye 2018 (sec)
15/20 RVF
"The attack is supple, with spicy finesse and a commendable hint of bitterness. The citrus fruit and density of the wine are there, but optimal use of sulfur hinders tasting. The exotic fruit remains crisp, however". (Le Guide des Meilleurs Vins de France 2021 - RVF) Give it time to air out so the sulfur can evaporate and make way for its beautiful fruitiness.

The Sémillon grapes (50% of the blend) are harvested very ripe and partially raisined, giving a lovely aromatic complexity to this cuvée combining roundness and liveliness. A sure bet!

A warm nose of blackberries, blackcurrants and undergrowth is complemented by a floral touch. The attack is frank and fruity, followed by an energetic structure and soft tannins. The finish is fresh and salivating. A perfect expression of terroir!
