Phil Hargreaves of the Hengate Wine School in East Yorkshire has just published a book on the vineyards of Bergerac in South West France (Aquitaine) – and a very thorough and informative work it is – invaluable for any lover of these wines, and/or for visitors to the region to the east of Bordeaux on the Dordogne river – excellent dry and sweeter whites from Sauvignon Blanc and Semilllon – and some extraordinarily good reds mainly from Merlot and Cabernets.
Official launch of new guide “The Wines of Bergerac” will take place on Friday 26 September at 6 p.m. at Beverley Arms Hotel, Beverley, East Yorkshire. Book signing and free Bergerac tasting.
