The vineyard is located at the top of Pécharmant hill, oriented south. Tiny vine, with a view of Dordogne valley and Monbazillac hill. The land and vinification mixed together give this beautiful creation of an intense dark red wine with aromas of truffles, blackcurrants, and blackberries. This intensity and generosity underline a tannic structure that can age easily.

The Domaine des Costes’s name refers to the old French for “hillsides” (coteaux). It is located in Bergerac, one of the four towns producing Pécharmant appellation wines.
Since 1992, the vineyard is being cared of very carefully: replantation, poor yield, sustainable growing of vine, managing soils without weed killer.
Since 2003, the vine is worked in organic agriculture in an environmental way and in order to let the nature do its thing. We produce round, elegant and intense Pécharmant wines that you can keep for years. The rosé has delicate aromas.
The Domaine du Haut Pécharmant has 35 hectares of vineyards on the top of the hill, in the heart of the Pécharmant appellation. The family bought the property in 1929, ever since, five generations have been working the soils of sand, pebbles and and grey and red clay, rich in iron. The grape varieties merlot, malbec, cabernet franc and cabernet sauvignon are the ingredients of our remarkable wines, full bodied and with a rich bouquet.

At the heart of a Frenchie park, Château de Tiregand is an elegant seigneury of the XVIIIth century. Its 35ha vineyard is located on the Pécharmant hills. Overlooking the Dordogne valley on top of Bergerac, the “sand and rocks” soils of Perigord give raced and elegant wines which are left in barrels for 12 months. They are famous and have been rewarded by golden medals in every guide.
La Chanteracoise is considered to be the last traditional biscotti maker in France. Historically based in the heart of the Périgord Blanc region, in the small village of St Germain du Salembre, it produces a wide range of rusks, toasts and croutons, and has preserved the authentic know-how of the biscuit-makers of the 1950s. Its attention to the origin and quality of the raw materials used in the manufacture of its products contribute to its desire to be distributed exclusively in delicatessens, cooperative shops and organic shops.
Since 2015, La Chanteracoise has taken over the Billeau brothers' biscuit factory and expanded its range to include croquants and palets gourmands.
