Bergerac
 

The red, aromatic and generous wine of Bergerac is coming from a mixture of diverse grapes juice. There are the so-called noble grapes (Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot) and the more traditional grapes (Côt, Fer, Mérille) in the South West of France.

The rosé wine in Bergerac is fresh and fruity, it comes primarily from Cabernet.

The white Bergerac is dry and nervous. It is recommended to wait two years before tasting a white wine from Bergerac.
