bergerac AOC
bergerac
 
Bergerac is an appellation of France (vineyard region) that has the same grape varieties and geology as Bordeaux but without the arrogance!
The climate is more continental with decidedly less rainfall.
The Merlot grape variety from this region achieves strong tannin structures with the appropriate ripe flavour profiles and mouth-feel that no other country in the world can achieve "according to the Oz & Nz Wine industry journal"
The Semillon is particularly aromatic in the dry white wines and if allowed to go on to Botrytis the region has consistently produced the only ever 100/100 from Robert Parker.
12 Appellations including Mobazillac
12300 Hectars of vignes. 1200 grape growers
63500000 liters /year 60% Red 40% White
