Wines made from Muscadelle grapes of Côte de Beaune
Discover the best wines made with Muscadelle as a single variety or as a blend of Côte de Beaune.
Aromatic, fruity whites with a tender palate, with intense aromas of muscat, white flowers, honey, candied citrus and floral notes (no genetic link to the muscat family). Minor component in the great botrytised dessert wines of Sauternes, Barsac, Cérons and Monbazillac, adding perfume and freshness. Also dry in Entre-Deux-Mers. Made as sumptuous fortified wines in Australia (Rutherglen Topaque). French variety from Bordeaux and the South-West.
Southern Burgundy, cradle of the world's greatest Chardonnays across ~30 km of slopes. Opulent, mineral whites with signature notes of butter, toasted hazelnut, honey, brioche, citrus and flint, taut on chiselled acidity — legendary Montrachet and Meursault. Fine, silky Pinot Noir reds (cherry, raspberry, undergrowth): structured Pommard, floral Volnay. Corton, only red Grand Cru.
