Decanter 95 – their top Monbazillac ever:
Sitting across the Dordogne river from Bergerac lies Monbazillac and its Sauternes-like dessert wines. Here, Semillon and Muscadelle produce a rich wine with an inviting nose of red apple, spun sugar and biscuit, which morphs into fresher green apple, apricot and honey on the palate.
80% Semillon and 20% Muscadelle, this blows away a lot of Sauternes at four times or more its price.
