Monbazillac
Monbazillac is a sweet white wine produced in the Monbazillac appellation of the Bergerac region in southwestern France. It is primarily made from the Sémillon, Sauvignon Blanc, and Muscadelle grape varieties. The wine is known for its rich flavors of honey, apricot, and citrus, often resulting from the noble rot, or Botrytis cinerea, which concentrates the sugars in the grapes.
The Monbazillac region has a long history of winemaking, dating back to the 16th century. The wine is typically enjoyed as a dessert wine and pairs well with foie gras, blue cheese, and fruit-based desserts. Its unique sweetness and complexity make it a favorite among wine enthusiasts.
