Montravel

With 3 designations (Montravel, Côtes de Montravel, Haut-Montravel) and 4 colours (red, dry white, sweet and dessert), Montravel captures its terroir’s earthy freshness and finesse. As Montaigne said, “we do not drink, we kiss the glass and wine gives us a caress”.
Saussignac
This little-known but classic designation lies south west of Bergerac in line with the Monbazillac hillsides. Saussignac is made by 15 or so mainly organic producers. In line with the Monbazillac hillsides, the bountiful vines bring an outstanding sweet wine to life. Saussignac stands out for its full and rich flavour alongside its incredible balance of sugar and acidity.
CÔTES DE DURAS

The landscape switches between valleys, vineyards, woodlands and plum orchards.
