Description

The French have a phrase that perfectly sums up the art of winemaking: Le Douleur Exquise. This means “the exquisite pain of loving or striving for something unattainable.” Wine is definitely a labor of love that demands everything from those who want to do it well. The perfect taste or the perfect grape is always out of reach, but worth striving for every single Le Douleur Exquise 2016 Bergerac Blanc is fruity but accented by subtle tastes of basil and licorice—perfect for pairing with food, but we can’t help drinking it all on its own.

It is worth trying different bottles from the region, as they will each have unique tastes that can only be found there!
