Details and technical informations about Château Les Donats's Moelleux.
Discover the grape variety: Villard blanc
Simple and lively dry whites with a pale golden colour, supple palate and preserved acidity, with understated aromas of white flowers, citrus (lemon) and hybrid notes. A productive, disease-resistant profile to drink young. Now marginal in France, it survives in a few heritage plots and varietal collections among the preserved Seyve-Villard hybrids. A French white hybrid obtained by Bertille Seyve in Bourgoin-Jallieu (Seyve-Villard 12-375).

The wine region of Côtes de Bergerac
Higher hierarchy of the Bergeracois in Périgord: structured complex reds — dominant Merlot blended with Cabernet Franc, Cabernet Sauvignon and Côt, deep robe, aromas of candied fruits and prune, sturdy tannins suitable for 5-10 years of aging. Sweet generous whites on Sémillon, Sauvignon and Muscadelle with notes of honey, candied fruits and apricot, round and fresh palate. Clay-limestone soils, more demanding identity than generic Bergerac.
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".
