Built by the English a little before 1200, the Château de Panisseau, whose architecture was redesigned at the Renaissance, was successively promoted by the Grimoard families of Panisseau, Alba and Laur. It produces dry white bergerac wines, soft white and red. The furnished dependencies have been completely renovated: A residence for 2 and two luxury houses can accommodate 8 people. A small building in the heart of the courtyard includes a small swimming pool, heated, a hammam and a fitness room.

Founded in 1983, this brand aims to give pride of place to local wines, especially from the Bergerac region. The wines on offer come either from family vineyards, or from Julien de Savignac's own winegrowers, or from partner vineyards in the region, of course. For example, Château Thénac, Château Briand-Bergerac, Domaine des Costes and many other vintages can be found in the various wine shops of the brand, which is well established in the Dordogne (Périgueux, Sarlat-la-Canéda, Brantôme).

Located in the heart of Sarlat, the store sells alcohols made in the old Lapouge Distillery in Madrazes, founded in 1860, which later became Distillerie du Périgord. Their offer is based on the Périgord region: ratafia, walnut liqueurs, truffle or chestnut based aperitifs... Not forgetting their range of Lascaw whisky, aged between 5 and 20 years! The Distillerie du Périgord has also launched culinary aids: wines and infusions of mushrooms ready to use for deglazing, marinating, flaming... Recipes are even available on their website!

Also present in Périgueux, Le Bugue, Paris and its suburbs, this brand continues to develop. Professionals, and above all lovers of the Périgord region, these wine merchants offer you a selection of the best Bergerac wines such as Château de Tiregand, Château de la Jaubertie, Château la Tour des Gendres, etc. Of course, the other great vineyards also have their place there as well as other jewels of our region; liqueurs and brandies, confits and other foie gras. A shop that can make you want to discover all these worlds.

Martine and Johnny left their native Belgium and their lives as salaried employees to create Les Perles Rouges, an artisanal company that makes natural products from fruit and flowers, most of which are grown on site. These are then vinified into wines with no added alcohol, into vinegar, or transformed into liqueurs, syrups, jams, jellies and chutneys with no added colorants, preservatives or artificial flavors.

Land made of heavy clays on tuffs limestone, a high altitude for the region, gives very special wines. The Belle Filles castle is one of the first signatories of territorial contracts of farms (ETC) which bind it to the state, on environmental measures. François de Conti, at the same time, started to produce yellow label chicken. Hog blended with grape marc gives a balanced compost that the vine grower leaves in the vine, engazonnée in alfalfa. This mode of rational cultivation is not practised in France, but the results are very much praised. François de Conti has arranged guest rooms and offers a session of organic viticulture for one morning (150 € per room).

At Château des Lys, a new gem in the Pécharmant appellation, the Bellagamba family preserves the excellence and biodiversity of the terroir through the finesse of their wines. Since 2016, these passionate owners have been working with their steward to sublimate this jewel of the Périgord. Discover, in an area of 18 hectares of organic vines crossed by the "Boucle de Pécharmant", a production of wines with intense notes, reflections of the terroir. This "Lys", with its Peyrelevade chartreuse, adds a touch of heritage to this estate located in a healthy, protected environment and certified Organic since 2022.

Great ideas come from the most beautiful blunders... This was the case for the Benedictine monks of the 11th century who had forgotten their harvest, thus allowing botrytis, the noble rot, to develop. The beginning of a great story! Today, the Monbazillac winery is made up of more than 60 winegrowers who work nearly a third of the appellation. It has evolved with the times and the technology. In addition to the wine, the shop also offers local products.
