Monbazillac ‘Le Courreau’ – Cave de Monbazillac
South-West, France

A classic French dessert wine from the renowned Monbazillac appellation, crafted from Sémillon, Sauvignon Blanc and Muscadelle grapes harvested late to encourage noble rot (Botrytis cinerea). This traditional method concentrates the fruit, creating a rich, luscious wine while retaining enough freshness to keep every sip beautifully balanced.

Expect aromas of ripe peach, acacia blossom and honey, leading to a silky palate filled with apricot, orchard fruit and delicate floral notes. Sweet but never cloying, its vibrant acidity gives the wine a clean, elegant finish.

Perfect as an aperitif, with foie gras, blue cheeses such as Roquefort, fruit-based desserts or simply enjoyed well chilled on its own. If you’re looking for the richness of Sauternes at a more approachable price, Monbazillac is one of France’s best-kept secrets.
