📜 Périgord
French PGI for still red, rosé and white wines, and partially dealcoholised still wines, from the Dordogne department.
Périgord is a French protected geographical indication (IGP) for still red, rosé and white wines, and for partially dealcoholised still wines, made in the department of Dordogne and in the commune of Salviac in Lot. It began as the vin de pays du Périgord, recognised by decree on 25 October 1996.
The current specification, homologated by the order of 9 July 2026, requires still wines to have at least 10.5% vol acquired alcohol. Partially dealcoholised wines have an acquired alcohol of 6% to 9% vol and must carry the words vin partiellement désalcoolisé on the label. Wines are made only from the long list of grape varieties in the specification, and the maximum yield is 120 hl/ha.
The name may be followed by one or more grape varieties, by the words primeur or nouveau (still wines only), or by a smaller unit: Dordogne or Vin de Domme.
