Introductory Mixed Case – 6 bottles of French Organic Wine

Close to its more famous neighbour Bordeaux, the Bergerac region (also known as Périgord and Dordogne) is not well represented in the UK nowadays and we think that needs changing. Being right next to Bordeaux the wines from this region are more affordable yet have the same qualities s their more esteemed neighbour.

The vines of the Cuisset family are centred around the small village of Monestier where vines have been planted since the Middle Ages (1053). Guy Cuisset and his sons, Gabriel and Julien, have helped to turn the whole estate over to organic production and are now adopting new modern strategies in the vineyards and cellar which include ditching the reliance on the old AOC Bergerac rules (dating from the 1950s) as the brothers deemed these unsuitable for today’s climate, market and organic vine growing opportunities.  The wines they are now producing are award winning and high quality. There is further information on these new techniques here.[click]
