Domaine du Haut Montlong was founded in 1925 by the Sergenton family in the Dordogne valley, and the estate is now managed by the fourth generation: Laurence Metifet, the great-granddaughter of the founder, and her husband Philippe, who joined the estate in the 1990s. Starting with just six hectares, the Metifet family has grown the estate to approximately 75 hectares of vines, a steady, generational expansion that reflects their long-term commitment to this particular corner of South West France.

The Bergerac AOC allows reds, whites, and rosés. The red wines are built around Merlot and Cabernet Franc, with Cabernet Sauvignon playing a supporting role, and the style is one of accessible fruit concentration and soft tannin structure: wines that drink well on release but that reward a few years of patience. The whites are produced from Sauvignon Blanc, Semillon, and Muscadelle, the classic Bergerac white blend, and at their best they offer a generosity of texture alongside the herbaceous freshness that this part of France produces from its cool-harvested Sauvignon. The rosés are pale, dry, and made for the table.

What Haut Montlong represents is the archetype of a family estate whose wines over-deliver at every price point: honest, terroir-driven, and made by people who have farmed the same land across four human lifetimes.
