Bergerac AOC
Summary
Located directly east of Entre-deux-Mers along the Dordogne River. A wide range of wine production of red blends (50% of total production), and rosé styles alongside dry to sweet white wines. Sharing similar climatic conditions to Bordeaux with Atlantic maritime influence, although warmer and drier due to its inland location. Soils are also similar with limestone, clay and gravel outcrops. Higher permitted yields can lead to lower intensity in wine. Prices are affordable due to lower production costs and less fame achieved by the area as a whole. 90% of production is sold in France.
