Reds

«Let's start with the red wines…

 

There is AOC Bergerac red :

Bergerac reds are fruity and supple. They flatter the palate. They are typically for drinking young and can be a good everyday wine.

 

Then, Côtes de Bergerac red:

Côtes de Bergerac reds are produced under very strict and rigourous rules. They are full bodied and powerful wines with excellent aging potential.

 

Pécharmant:

The very distinctive flavour of Pécharmant, an appellation uniquely for red wine, is its soil that contains a deep layer of clay and ironstone. This is a charming, powerful wine with an intense aroma.

 

Finally, the youngest of the AOCs of Bergerac, the AOC Montravel:

Montravel is a sumptuous red wine with very strict production conditions.
