Primitive arts,
the Périgord, land of history

packshots-vins-arts-premiers-jules-lebegue

With “Arts Premiers”, we are highlighting the wonderful land of the Périgord. The Dordogne department is a country rich in history and art of living. Appreciated by all like Proust’s madeleine, this territory conveys formidable values to French and international consumers.

The name “Arts Premiers” is a reference to the oldest relics of artistic creations found in the caves of the region. In these lands, the first men left traces of their passage with paintings of mammoths, bisons and other animals, more than 15,000 years old. Pioneers of cave art to whom we dedicate our range today. We have applied a “rock effect” to the label illustrations to remind us of the cave walls on which they drew.

“Arts Premiers” is a range of wines that express the originality of this region in wines of character. The wines are AOP Bergerac, Côtes de Bergerac and Monbazillac, as well as IGP Périgord. All our wines are selected by Elodie Bonnot, our in-house oenologist, from long-standing partners in the region:

– The reds, made from Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon, are structured and spicy, ripe, but still succulent and fruity.
– The whites, made from Sauvignon, are lively, fresh and floral. This grape variety blossoms wonderfully on the clay-limestone slopes overlooking the Dordogne.
– The rosés, made from Merlot, are pale, fruity and delicate. They express aromas of small fresh red fruits, typical of this grape variety.

Committed to sustainability and the preservation of the environment, Arts Premiers wines are HVE3, Organic Agriculture or Demeter (Biodynamics) certified. This is a meaningful approach in a region as beautiful and delicate as the Périgord, which must be preserved.
