High-quality wines, without the Bordeaux price tag, can be found throughout the southwestern (or, in French, "Sud-Ouest") part of France. At 120,000 acres, the South West of France is the country's 5th largest wine region, being divided into four subregions of its own (Bergerac & Dordogne River, Garonne & Tarn, Lot River, and Pyrénées); each possessing distinctive climates, character, and grapes.
