Bergerac is france’s unsung hero. Some consider it to be in the shadow of bordeaux, but savvy buyers know that it’s renowned for its similar reds – at wallet friendly prices. Blends here often include the same traditional grape varieties as its famous neighbour. And if you know where to look, you can find some real gems. This expressive red is made by a fourth generation family winery nestled on the hillside of the dordogne valley. The nearby river regulates temperature year round, ensuring grapes are perfectly ripe – bringing even more flavour to your glass. It’s elegant and rounded, with ripe red and black fruit notes and toasty vanilla. Generous tannins will complement the bold flavours of barbecued meats, so partner with a grilled steak.
