Le Chai Bordin Périgueux — Wine shop in Périgueux

On the rue de la Sagesse, a side street in the old centre of Périgueux, you'll find what may well be the best wine shop and wine bar combination in the Périgord. A broad selection of more than 1,500 wines from independent winemakers, mostly from organic or biodynamic farming, sold at direct domaine prices. The range includes some fifty winemakers from Bergerac and Cahors, the local heroes, but also wines from more than 150 appellations across France, plus craft beers and spirits. Opposite the shop, at aperitif hour, is the wine bar: cheese and local charcuterie from the market, with around thirty different wines by the glass each week, changed weekly. A glass costs little, the quality is good, and the atmosphere is local and relaxed. No tourist pretensions, just serious wine.
