"Benjamin and Quentin, the "Frangins flingueurs", have hit the bull's-eye with this Périgord red, which breaks away from the house "canon" by focusing solely on Cabernet Sauvignon. "Brutal"? As the label, which echoes the cult film, suggests? Yes, if you mean color, power and density. In the glass, we also find ripe fruit and a hint of spice. On the palate, red fruit galore, cherry, plum and sweetness. Made for immediate consumption, this jaja could be kept". (Le Guide Hachette des Vins 2022)

Expert opinion

Bettane & Desseauve

3*Star rating (High-quality production, a benchmark in its sector)

About the domain :

Sylvie and Jean-François Deffarge have been working hard since 1981 to raise the Montravel flag on this estate inherited from Jean-François' father. Today, it covers 52 hectares on the slopes and plateau of Vélines. The vineyard has not yet gone organic, but is striving to do the best it can. 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 in hand. Their extensive, well-structured range enables them to offer wines for every occasion. The new winery will enable them to push their vision even further, with the addition of some experimental cuvées.

About the wine:

Benjamin and Quentin, the "Frangins flingueurs", have pulled out all the stops with this Périgord red, which breaks away from the house "canon" by focusing solely on Cabernet Sauvignon. "Brutal"? As the label, which echoes the cult film, suggests? Yes, if you mean color, power and density. In the glass, we also find ripe fruit and a hint of spice. On the palate, red fruit galore, cherry, plum and sweetness. Made for immediate consumption, this jaja could be kept.

About the domain :

A very old family estate (1749) located on the heights of Montravel, this vast domaine is today 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 to his children Benjamin and Quentin. The vineyard (50 ha) extends over 2 very distinct terroirs: clay-limestone slopes and a boulbène plateau. In organic conversion.

Note and review by M. STEPHANE V. Published on 16/08/2022

I didn't like it, I found it too strong in the mouth, perhaps it should be left to age a little to erase the rough side of the tannins, I prefer other wines from the Bergerac region.
