The picturesque, rolling hills of Bergerac are now producing wines to rival those of its famous neighbour Bordeaux. This is thanks to a new generation of forward-thinking winemakers such as Guy and Catherine Cuisset. Their alluring red is soft and juicy with subtle spicy notes.
"Easy drinking, Bordeaux-style red without the price tag."
France is without doubt the world’s supreme wine-producing country, unmatched for the finesse, style and sheer diversity of its wines. France’s revered wine regions form a roll of honour beyond compare. The enduring appeal of France’s classic wine styles turns on the peculiarly French – and often controversial – concept of terroir, the belief in wine with a ‘sense of place’, with flavours and textures.
