Sémillon forms the backbone of the wine, supported by Muscadelle and Sauvignon Blanc, with the grapes left on the vine until affected by noble rot – the natural process that gently shrivels the berries and concentrates their sugars, acidity and flavour. Harvesting takes place by hand over several passes through the vineyard, allowing only suitably concentrated grapes to be selected. The result is a classic expression of Monbazillac – richly fruited and honeyed, but kept lively and graceful by Chenin-like freshness from the Bordeaux white varieties.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePerfect With...
