Details and technical informations about Château le Raz's Cuvée Pierres Blanches.
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.

The wine region of Haut-Montravel
Sweet AOC (~50 ha) of the Bergerac area on the north-facing hillsides above the Dordogne: 100% Sémillon, sweet whites from manual late harvests at low yield on botrytised bunches. Varied soils combining clays, limestone and gravel on terraces, south-facing hillsides and plateau. Oceanic climate with continental influences — alternating humidity and heat encouraging Botrytis cinerea. Rich, round profile — exotic fruits, toast, confit, woody hints and a lively finish.
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: Decanter
1) Glass container with a narrow neck used to aerate or decant the wine. 2) Decanter wines: wines that are drunk young and that were once drawn directly from the barrel. For example, some Muscadets or Beaujolais.
