Description
In a nutshell:
Sensuous and organic, this Monbazillac is richly textured, with concentrated sweet marmalade and deep honeyed notes. Freshness balances its indulgent depth, bringing elegance to its richness.
The lowdown:
Think Monbazillac plays second fiddle to Sauternes? Château Tirecul la Gravière is here to change your mind. Blessed with superb terroir, the estate produces some of the very best Monbazillac has to offer. This, their flagship wine is made from perfectly botrytised Sémillon and Muscadelle, co-fermented and aged in barrel for up to 36 months. Rich and intense, it bursts with floral, candied fruit aromas, orange peel marmalade, and exotic spice. Crisp acidity keeps it fresh on the palate, while soft elegance and deep concentration lead to a long, lingering finish. Simply put, it's pure dessert wine pleasure.
The Producer:
Monbazillac sits just to the south of Bergerac and is the Dordogne's answer to Sauternes. The climate in certain specific locations here is just right for inducing Noble Rot, the critical element needed for making sweet wines in this part of the world. Château Tirecul la Gravière, being fortunate enough to have vineyards suitably susceptible to this benevolent condition, is generally acknowledged as the best producer in the region. They've been lauded by no less a wine critic then the renowned Robert Parker as 'producing sweet wines comparable to the most notable in the world'. Their wines are certainly ones to take seriously.
When to drink:
Blue cheeses are a great pairing and, contrastingly, so are sweet puddings. This richess of this will easily match up to the stickiest of them.
Suitable for Vegans, Organic
