Monbazillac 2009: Domaine de l'Ancienne Cure

A sublime botrytised Monbazillac from a blend of 60% Semillon and 40% Muscadelle. It has a lovely tawny colour and is richly honeyed with complex notes of dried fruits, nuts and caramel with a heady orange blossom bouquet. Traditionally it is served chilled in small glasses to accompany tartines of pâté de foie gras but it also makes a splendid accompaniment to salty blue cheeses (especially Roquefort) and all manner of fruit-based desserts.

• Style: White Wine, Sweet (Moelleux), Medium-bodied
• Region: Midi, Monbazillac
• Producer: Christian Roche
• Vintage: 2009
• Grape variety (Cépage): Sémillon, Muscadelle
• Wine pairing - drink with: Blue Cheese, Fruit desserts
• Cellarage: Best enjoyed within 2 years of vintage.
• Vinification: Triage harvested botrytised grapes are late harvested and vinified in stainless steel (although an oaked version is also made). The wine is not fortified artificially, as is the case for Muscat de Beaumes de Venise, and is thus sensitive to vintage variation and grape selection.
• Alcohol by Volume (ABV): 12.5%
