Description
In a nutshell:
A concentrated and rich Monbazillac that more than rivals those of Sauternes.
The lowdown:
Monbazillac sits just to the south of Bergerac in the Dordogne and has been famous for producing sweet wines for centuries. The organically farmed Chateau Tirecul are one of the best producers in the region and have been lauded by renowned wine critic Robert Parker as 'producing sweet wines comparable to the most notable in the world'. La Graviere is a mix of Muscadelle (a tricky to grow, floral, aromatic variety) and Semillon (that lends some weight and richness) perfectly botrytised grapes from old vines that are picked and fermented together before being aged in barrel for between 12-36 months, depending on vintage. No sugar is added, the result is entirely natural. A glorious wine, rich and intense, with floral, candied fruit aromas, orange peel marmalade, and exotic spicy notes. A soft and elegant palate with balanced acidity and a very long finish.
When to drink:
Try with blue cheeses or sweet puddings. In general with sweet wines and deserts the wine should always be sweeter than the pudding. So this wine will cope with some of the sweetest of puddings!
Suitable for Vegans, Organic
