AC Bergerac produces red, rosés and dry white wines. The red wines are delicate and fruity, supple and elegant. They develop aromas of red fruit (strawberry, blackcurrant) and vanilla notes. They should be drunk within two or three years of being harvested and make a pleasant partner for preserved meats, cooked cold pork meats, poultry and small game birds (quail, thrush…). The rosés, made from Cabernet-Sauvignon, display an attractive salmon-pink hue. They are delicate, supple and extremely fruit-forward with great freshness. They display a fruity (raspberry, banana, blackcurrant) and floral bouquet (violet). Excellent with cooked cold pork meats, grilled meat or fish. The white wines are dry, fresh, with a pleasant bouquet. They boast a distinctively lively attack and good length on the palate. Their aromas range from toasted, spicy and dried flowers to citrus fruit and vanilla. Try as an appetiser, with fish or shellfish.
