Discover the grape variety: Muscadelle
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.
