Les fiefs de Cyrano – Bergerac Rosé
The Bergerac appellation is situated in the south of the Dordogne region. Ideally located on the hillsides of the Dordogne valley, sheltered from the maritime influence, the Bergerac Rouge appellation enjoys a particularly favourable climate. This yields enjoyable wines, both elegant and authentic, and the diversity in the vineyards brings variety and richness. This appellation is used for red wines which are lighter than the Côtes de Bergerac reds. Made from a blend of the traditional grape varieties, these wines are supple, elegant and fruity.
Cyrano de Bergerac is Edmond Rostand's most famous play, based on a real character, Savinien Cyrano de Bergerac. He has become a true icon in French literature. To pay tribute to him, two statues of the fictional character have been erected in the squares of Bergerac, Cyrano's new strongholds !
