Appellation for white wines and only since the 2003 vintage also for red wines (until then these were produced under AOC Bergerac) in the north of the region of south-west France. It lies as an enclave in the far west of the large Bergerac appellation. Adjacent to it to the west is the Bordeaux appellation Côtes de Castillon. The vineyards cover around 350 hectares of hillside vineyards in 14 communes between Port-Sainte-Foy and Saint-Michel-de-Montaigne on the right bank of the Dordogne (although 2,100 hectares would be permitted). The soil consists of limestone with red clay as a weathering product on the surface and sediments at lower altitudes.

As honorary chairman of the Domäne Wachau, it is the easiest and quickest way for me to access the wein.plus encyclopaedia when I have questions. The certainty of receiving well-founded and up-to-date information here makes it an indispensable guide.
