The purple Perigord located in the southwestern part of the department takes its name from the purple colour of the autumn foliage of the vines and the colour of the wine. It is a recent appellation that has complemented the Department's other three colours. Bergerac is the capital. It is also the land of the bastides: Beaumont du Périgord, Issigeac, Monpazier, Lalinde and Eymet..
