Organic sweet white wine, Monbazillac Appellation Selection of Noble Grains, Chateau Tirecul la Gravière 2020, 50cl

Monbazillac appellation Selection of noble grapes The great wine of the property, our classic where the balance of nobly botrytised grains is best expressed. Power and harmony of flavors, a great wine to be tasted ideally between 5 and 25 years. This very balanced vintage is marked by a round mouthfeel with a fresh finish. The aromas are those of the botrytized muscadelle, where apricot, candied quince and saffron notes mingle. The long aging gives it a additional complexity with very warm roast-grilled notes.
