This is the definition of a wine "cheat code". Bergerac is a French wine appellation located just outside Bordeaux. This example is made of Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc. The wines of Bergerac tend to be softer on release, meaning you don't need to age them as long as you would Bordeaux. This 2019 is an absolute joy to drink—it's layered and complex, with plum, cedar, black currant and a hint of peppery spice. A top value in French wine that drinks like twice its price!
The chateau of this estate was the home of 16th century French philosopher Michel de Montaigne. The wine is a fine blend of Merlot and the two Cabernets, ripely fruity and with generous tannins. The wine has weight and density and a fine future. Drink from 2024.
