- Château de Tiregand, AEC PECHARMANT, Bergerac sec
  
  In the heart of the Pécharmant vineyard, the Château de Tiregand is an elegant stately home dating from the 18th century, surrounded by a pretty “French-style” park. The castle welcomes you to discover forgotten sensations. Come and discover the subtlety of spices (paprika, white pepper) and the sweetness of red fruits (redcurrant, raspberry, black cherry...) in the range of its wines.
  
  Let yourself be tempted by a free walk in the vineyards and the castle park, or a guided tour of its cellars. Live the history of this wine property listed in the additional inventory of Historic Monuments.
  
  You will be welcomed from Monday to Saturday from 9:30 a.m. to 12 p.m. and from 2 p.m. to 5:30 p.m. from Easter to All Saints Day for a free tasting. Commented tours are organized by appointment at this time of year (€ 6.50 per person). In July and August, guided tours without appointment on Tuesday and Friday in French at 10:30 a.m, in English at 2:30 p.m.
  
  Every Thursday in July and August, we organize a free tasting game for children and their parents (without alcohol). Smell, taste and find this perfume, this flavor among the answers given to you. It's fun among the barrels in our cellars.

We love this vineyard. We visited last year and again this year. The wine never disappoints both red and white. Really enjoyed the tour as well. See you next year.

I sometimes wonder what people who write negative reviews expect when they seek a place out to visit?! Chateau Tiregand is a case in point. True, they only have 3 or 4 wines on tasting. But these are a good example of their full range. I owned a vineyard on New Zealand where we had a huge range of reds and whites. But in France appellation controlle restrictions limit what grape varieties a winery can plant and what wines they can make in their particular region. So please be aware of that, and manage your expectations accordingly. What I saw when I visited today, was a beautifully maintained property, starting with an entry down a long drive underneath besutiful old trees. Then a glimpse of the Chateau before I drove on to the tasting room. There I met a charming woman who spoke no English, while my French is non-existent. However, we got by, made a few jokes, tasted 3 excellent wines, and purchased some as well. The winery offers tours, but these need to be pre-booked, so I did not participate in that activity unfortunately. My mistake for not booking. I would recommend both a visit and a tasting. Perhaps a tour too if you have time.

A very professional winery, nice 17th C buildings and grounds, established vineyard exploits the sand and rock soils to the maximum, explanatory no pressure tasting session.
