Le Clos du Breil
Le Clos du Breil operates in Guyenne, the historic heart of South West France's wine country. The winery focuses on the Bergerac appellation, where Atlantic influences and limestone-clay soils shape wines of mineral precision and aromatic clarity. Three wines define the house style. Côtes de Bergerac Moelleux—a blend of Muscadelle, Sauvignon Blanc, and Sémillon—captures the region's affinity for noble-rot sweetness with layered stone fruit and honeyed depth. Expression Bergerac Blanc Sec pairs Sauvignon Blanc and Sémillon in a dry register, emphasizing herbaceous tension and citrus minerality. L'Odyssée Bergerac, built from Cabernet Franc and Cabernet Sauvignon, channels the red-wine tradition of South West France: structured tannins, dark berry fruit, and the peppery spice characteristic of Franc-based blends. Wine Enthusiast has rated across the portfolio. The winery's work reflects Bergerac's dual identity—equally at home with white wines of aromatic finesse and reds of serious backbone.
