LA NÒVÉ IN BERGERAC: A 100% ORGANIC ARTISAN BREWERY IN THE HEART OF THE PÉRIGORD POURPRE

Discover La NÒVÉ, an organic craft brewery in Bergerac, in the Périgord Pourpre region: organic beers, tours and tastings, brewing workshops and beer tap rentals for your events.

Introducing the Nòvé craft brewery

Located in Bergerac, in the Périgord Pourpre region, the organic craft brewery La NÒVÉ has been producing craft beers since September 2019. Founded by Emmanuel and Béatrice Marseille, this family business has developed around a simple idea: to offer locally made organic beers, prioritizing artisanal know-how and a committed approach to production.

The story of La NÒVÉ is also one of career change and a collective project. After initial experience in the brewing industry in the Dordogne region, Emmanuel and Béatrice decided to create their own business. Their son, Gauthier Marseille, joined the adventure in 2021, and later Julien Benamane completed the team.

The brewery operates as a SCOP, a cooperative society that places collective work at the heart of its organization. It is located in building 5 of the former ESCAT military site, on Avenue Aristide-Briand, in Bergerac.

The name La NÒVÉ, meaning "nine" in Corsican, refers to Béatrice's Corsican origins and a family history. The sun symbol associated with the brasserie's identity is, in turn, a nod to the name Marseille.

What specifically distinguishes Nòvé beers

La NÒVÉ 's unique feature lies in its range of certified organic craft beers, brewed and bottled in Bergerac. The raw materials used, including malts, hops, spices, fruits, and sugar, are certified organic. The yeasts used are guaranteed GMO-free.

The brewery offers a range of sixteen regular beers, complemented by limited-edition creations that allow for the exploration of other flavor combinations. The diversity of malts and hops contributes to the personality of each recipe, ranging from cereal notes and fruity hints to floral aromas and varying degrees of bitterness.

The brewing process relies on a top-fermentation method similar to an ale, inspired by Anglo-Saxon brewing traditions. Multi-step infusion brewing allows for the development of beer characteristics based on the selected raw materials. Refermentation then takes place in the bottle or keg.

Among the beers offered are the Blonde, light and refreshing; the Blanche, with fruity and spicy notes; and the One Punch Mandarina, which is richer in alcohol and aromas. The range also includes a Milk Stout, a dark beer with notes of coffee, licorice, and caramel, as well as a verjus beer brewed in collaboration with the Domaine de Siorac.

These varied profiles cater to the preferences of different enthusiasts, whether they enjoy light beers, hoppier recipes, or roasted flavors.

Services and equipment

The La NÒVÉ brewery in Bergerac is not limited to the production and sale of bottled beers. It also offers several services for individuals, associations and professionals.

Brewery tours with tastings offer a glimpse into the brewing process, from the selection of raw materials to fermentation. A package combining the tour with a tasting of two beers is available by reservation, subject to availability.

Brewing workshops are also organized for people who want to better understand the techniques used by brewers. Depending on the chosen format, this activity can be considered as a personal discovery, a gift, or a shared experience in a small group.

NÒVÉ also offers beer and cheese pairing workshops, allowing you to explore the complementarities between the aromas of craft beers and the characteristics of cheeses (book 10 to 15 days in advance).

For private or professional events, the brewery provides beer tap rental in the Dordogne. Birthday, wedding, family celebration, association gathering or corporate event: several solutions can be considered depending on the number of guests and the equipment required.

Available equipment includes single and double tap beer dispensers, and bar sets, with delivery and installation available according to agreed terms. Kegs of blonde, white, amber, or select IPA beers are offered, depending on availability. Returnable glasses can also be provided. Since summer 2026, the brewery has offered a refrigerated trailer for rent, which it delivers and sets up at your event location. This equipment guarantees easy and spill-free beer dispensing, even on the hottest days and during heat waves.

The brewery thus supports the organizers in the preparation of their event, from the choice of beers to the setting up of the equipment.

The immediate environment

Located at 129 Avenue Aristide-Briand in Bergerac, the brewery occupies an urban and easily accessible area of the city. Its location on a former military site recalls a part of the local industrial and economic history, now repurposed for professional activities.

A visit to La NÒVÉ can be part of a broader exploration of Bergerac and its heritage. The historic center brings together old houses, shopping streets, and several buildings that bear witness to the city's development over the centuries.

Just a few minutes away, the banks of the Dordogne River offer another perspective of Bergerac. The river has long contributed to trade and the development of the region. Today, it provides a pleasant walking area and a starting point for exploring the landscapes of the Bergerac area.

The proximity to the city center also makes it possible to combine discovering a local craft business with visiting shops, markets, and cultural sites. Food lovers can extend their trip by exploring regional products and local wines.

Anchoring in the territory

La NÒVÉ is located in a region where agricultural and food expertise plays a significant role. The Périgord Pourpre, around Bergerac, combines vineyards, farmland, charming villages, and local produce.

The brewery prides itself on its artisanal and organic production methods, with the ambition of contributing to the development of local supply chains. It relies on partners and points of sale, particularly organic stores, to promote its beers in Nouvelle-Aquitaine.

This initiative takes place in a region already renowned for its wine production. The Bergerac, Pécharmant, and Monbazillac appellations exemplify the diversity of the surrounding terroirs. The presence of craft brewers offers another expression of local expertise, centered around malt, hops, and fermentation.

The cooperative dimension of La NÒVÉ complements this identity. The SCOP status reflects an organization based on participation in the collective project, while the choice of certified organic raw materials affirms a particular attention paid to the ingredients.

It actively participates in the creation of advent calendars with 11 other breweries in the department. This collective offer is unique in France, allowing craft beer enthusiasts to discover a range of beers in a single "pleasure" purchase.

The brewery is therefore an address to discover for people interested in the artisanal products of Dordogne, the manufacturing methods and the independent companies that participate in the economic life of the Bergerac region.
