Presentation

Through the School of oenophiles the CIVRB aims to disseminate knowledge of the wines of Bergerac to the general public. Two to three times per year, the school offers a course of four sessions on the theme "Discover the wines of Bergerac". These are open to everyone interested in learning about the wines of Bergerac and about tasting techniques. 

 

During the course, we discover the specifics of the vineyard, the different AOC, the modes of winemaking, the role of history, climate, soil, terroir, grape varieties, the personality of the winemaker or vineyard on the final taste of wine. Each course focuses on a wine type: the first and third course deals primarily with red wines, the second, white wines and roses, and the last the sweet wines.
