Why we chose it“Monbazillac is Sauternes’ lesser-known neighbour — botrytised Semillon, honey, apricot and clean acidity. Château Ramon do it beautifully and at a much gentler price.”

About this wine
Monbazillac is the celebrated sweet wine appellation of Bergerac in South West France — a near-neighbour of Sauternes that produces botrytis-affected dessert wines of honeyed richness at a far friendlier price. Château Ramon is an estate producer in the heart of the appellation, making Monbazillac from noble-rot Sémillon, Sauvignon Blanc and Muscadelle harvested at peak ripeness from the region's distinctive clay-limestone slopes.
Golden amber in the glass with a nose of honeyed apricot, orange blossom, citrus zest and warm spiced complexity. Medium sweet on the palate with a luscious, rich texture balanced by the refreshing acidity typical of good Monbazillac, finishing long and aromatic. Superb with foie gras, blue cheese, soft-rind cheeses or fruit-based desserts.
