Monbazillac
 

Among the best sweet wines in France, Monbazillac (or Montbazillac) must wait for noble-rot to attack the grapes before being harvested. In good years Monbazillac wines can compete with the models of the type such as Sauternes and Barsac.

Monbazillac are very attractive sweet wines. They flow like gold in your throat. With age their color intensifies and they develop their rich and intense characteristics.
