Exploring the aromas of Semillon, Sauvignon and Muscadelle: tasting the future

3 GRAPE VARIETIES TO TASTE THE MYSTERY OF MONBAZILLAC

• Semillon

Semillon brings power and structure to blended wines, especially when combined with Sauvignon Blanc, of which it is the privileged partner for the production of Monbazillac.
Its colour is golden yellow, the aromas offer a wide range, from candied apricot, pineapple or mango to "roasted". The grape variety develops complex flavours of spices, honey and mushrooms.

• Sauvignon Blanc

Sauvignon Blanc is the grape variety that winemakers incorporate with Semillon - the dominant grape variety. It brings freshness and fruity aromas.
Its light colour has green reflections. The variety develops vegetal and fruity notes of citrus, rhubarb, with floral touches of elderberry and mineral touches. Its acidity on the palate gives an invigorating sensation appreciated for sweet wines.

• Muscadelle

Muscadelle brings floral notes of acacia and honeysuckle to blended wines, as well as fruity notes of peach and apricot enhanced by spicy touches. It gives a soft and smooth sensation on the palate.
