Muscadelle

Muscadelle is a traditional white grape of Bordeaux.

This is a fragile variety, susceptible to disease. Associated with Semillon and Sauvignon to produce sweet wines, it is also used for the production of dry white wines, such as the dry Bergerac. Muscadelle, when healthy and mature, brings the wine a character intensely floral with aromas of honeysuckle, acacia. Muscadelle is difficult to grow, so it is fairly planted. Used in minute proportions in Barsac and Sauternes, it is more and more by some producers Graves, who appreciate the nuances of exotic fruits it brings with white wine.
