In the south of the Perigord area with the Dordogne river running through it, the département of Dordogne has its capital at Bergerac.

Home to the vineyards of Bergerac and its sub-appellations (e.g. Pecharmant, Saussignac, Montravel, Monbazillac) the département is adjacent to Bordeaux to the west and Duras to the south-west.

It is also home to our favourite French wine producer, Guy Cuisset at Chateau Grinou in Monestier.
