Vichon Wines
Château de Saint-Cernin is a 12th century feudal castle restored in 1875, set in the heart of the Périgord region of France, close to the city of Bergerac. It is at the top of the little village of Saint-Cernin-de-Labarde, counting some 200 souls, overlooking the valley of the River Conne.
Out of the original eight 14th century towers, only two are still standing today.
