Domaine de Montlong Monbazillac 375ml

Winemaker Domaine de Montlong on the winery

“We are a family estate in Pomport, in the south of the Bergerac region. Our family has been connected to these vineyards for six generations, right in the heart of the Monbazillac appellation. Our clay-limestone soils produce grapes shaped by the slopes overlooking the Dordogne. We work with respect for tradition and pay close attention to grape selection and winemaking. Our aim is to create wines that reflect the character of our region with elegance.”

And on Monbazillac, France

“For our Monbazillac, we use Sémillon, Muscadelle and Sauvignon Blanc. The grapes are hand-picked in successive passes, selecting bunches affected by noble rot (Botrytis cinerea). This natural process concentrates the sugars and aromas in the grapes. After harvesting, we ferment the wine under controlled temperatures. Part of the wine is then aged in new oak barrels. The result is a rich, golden dessert wine with aromas of acacia honey, ripe peach, apricot, exotic fruit and toasted nuts.”
