"We must salute the precision and reserve of freshness that the winemaker has succeeded in putting into this vat-aged 2022, with its luminous fruit and seductive, precise, spicy tannins. Good tension despite the degree". (Le Guide RVF 2025)

About the wine:
The precision and reserve of freshness that the winemaker has succeeded in bringing to this vat-aged 2022, with its luminous fruit and seductive, precise, spicy tannins, is to be commended. Good tension despite the degree.
About the domain :
Bergerac, in the extreme south-east of the appellation: from his plots on the limestone plateau and deep-clay hillsides, worked organically, Julien Auroux looks to the future with serenity. His wines have turned their backs on the Bergerac past, which sought to ape the reds of Bordeaux by forgetting the soil. He, on the contrary, is committed to salinity, frank and precise aromatic expression, with indigenous yeast and almost no added sulfur. He rehabilitates grapes from the past for a return to the future. The range draws from the acidity of the soils a digestible presence and climbs a step this year.
