Exeter Chiefs began their Heineken Champions Cup campaign with an impressive 27-12 bonus-point win at Castres.
The visitors took a deserved lead when Sam Simmonds crossed out wide before Dave Ewers added a second try.
Chiefs were pegged back by four Julien Dumora penalties to end the first half level, but Jack Maunder scored the third try after the break.
Olly Woodburn finished off a flowing backs move for the bonus-point try.
