Monbazillac Cuvée Exotique, Grande Maison 2022
This wine is primarily produced from 80% Sauvignon Blanc and 20% Sauvignon Gris grapes, which are hand-harvested in two selections of botrytis-affected grapes. Fermentation and aging take place in stainless steel tanks to preserve freshness, resulting in a wine with an explosive aroma of exotic fruits like pineapple. The wine has a residual sugar content of 85 g/l and an alcohol percentage of 13%. This Cuvée Exotique harmoniously combines sweetness and acidity, allowing the exotic fruit aromas to fully express themselves.

A beautiful estate from Bergerac, with both noble sweet Monbazillac wines and dry white and red Bergerac. It has long been organically certified, and under Thierry Deprès, it has grown to become a leader in the region. Since 2012, the young and ambitious Benjamin Chabrol has been at the helm, and he seems to have found the right path.
The wines are clean and clear, and, as tradition dictates, made with Bordeaux grapes. They also always have a rustic edge, best described as countryside charm.
The noble sweet wine is made from various grades of 'pourriture noble', ranging from light sweetness to syrupy intensity.
