Expert opinion
Bettane & Desseauve
Rated 14.5/20 (Good wine)
Domain rated 1*Star (A serious, commendable production, in keeping with what one has the right to expect from its appellation(s))
About the wine:
Tasted before bottling, this sparkling, sulfur-free red offers all the radiance of the purest fruit. We love its frankness and purity.
About the domain :
Having settled in Vélines in 2000, Isabelle Carles and Franck Pascal have chosen to produce pure, sulphur-free wines that are both easy to digest and fruity - wines you can drink. Certified biodynamic since the 2011 vintage, the 19-hectare estate has always been run according to the principles of organic farming, in order to protect both the environment and their health. Well done them, for without falling into the trap of vin nature, where fermentations run at full gallop, they produce a pretty coherent range, worked by terroir, without technicalities, in the Burgundian style.

About the domain :
Situated on a clay-limestone terroir overlooking the right bank of the Dordogne, this estate is one of the driving forces behind the Bergerac revival. Isabelle Carles and Franck Pascal vinify lively, pure wines with intense expression and great freshness, which they offer at very affordable prices. The reds are sulfur-free and input-free, even at bottling. This approach is mastered: after aeration, the wines remain clean and well-balanced, with perfect, natural acidity.
