Wines made from Muscadelle grapes of Gascogne
Discover the best wines made with Muscadelle as a single variety or as a blend of Gascogne.
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.
Gers South-West IGP on the Armagnac territory, 90% lively, aromatic whites. Signature Colombard (~50%): explosive notes of citrus, grapefruit, exotic fruits, box and a floral touch, taut and thirst-quenching palate — the summer aperitif at gentle prices. More neutral Ugni Blanc (also Armagnac base), herbaceous Sauvignon, more ample Gros and Petit Manseng (yellow fruits, honey). Oceanic temperate climate on "boulbènes" soils.
