The wine region of Monbazillac
World's largest sweet AOC south of Bergerac (South-West): signature Sémillon as king white with Sauvignon and Muscadelle — medium-sweet to botrytized sweet wines with opulent notes of honey, candied apricot, quince, pineapple, mango, beeswax, saffron and a touch of spice, unctuousness balanced by fine acidity. Successive picking of noble grapes mandatory. AOC (1936), ~2,320 ha on clay-limestone slopes, morning mists favoring Botrytis cinerea, 10-50 year aging.
The wine region of South West
French mosaic of strong identities south of Bordeaux. Cahors and its Malbec ("black wine"): deep reds with notes of blackberry, plum, violet, tobacco and cocoa, firm tannins. Madiran and its dense, age-worthy Tannat. Jurançon whites: golden sweet (apricot, honey, pineapple) and lively dry from Petit Manseng.
The word of the wine: Noble rot
A fungus called botrytis cinerea that develops during the over-ripening phase, an ally of great sweet white wines, when it concentrates the juice of the berries. It requires the humidity of morning fogs and beautiful sunny days, gives musts very rich in sugar and brings to the wines the famous taste of "roasted".
