Bergerac
Bergerac Wine - Buy Wine from the Bergerac Region of France
Every summer la famille Yapp retires to a sleepy backwater of La France Profonde that lies roughly between the small towns of Nontron (knives) and Thiviers (foie gras) to enjoy the not so Grandes Vacances where the biggest decisions of the day are what to cook that evening and what to drink with themeal. Unfortunately, although less than 100 miles from Bordeaux, Perigord Vert is not exciting wine country and even if we stock up in the Loire valley en passant, things can get pretty desperate after a week or so.
Fortunately, there is one long-serving and ultra-reliable Yapp supplier within strike range in the form of Christian Roche whose Domaine de l’Ancienne Cure lies beside the route nationale 21, just south of Bergerac. So if you are holidaying in the locale and see a battered Peugeot estate, containing a border terrier and a couple of bored kids, loading up beside the RN 21 itmight well be me on a mercy mission to re-stock the
cave personelle.
