Monbazillac is to the Dordogne Valley what Sauternes is to the Garonne Valley: the most favourable place for botrytis to develop, and therefore for the production of great sweet white wines. Domaine de Pécoula, a 32-hectare estate on a hillside, produces a cuvée Millénaire, matured exclusively in vats and with an alcohol content kept to 12.5°, the better to reveal complexity and aromatic finesse on the nose and palate.
Magnificent 2021, 80% Semillon and 20% Muscadelle, very fresh fruit (apricot, quince, pineapple, etc.), awarded a Gold Medal at the Concours Général de Paris.
The 2021 vintage in the press:
La Revue du Vin de France (September 2024): 90/100 “The Orient and its spices draw the volutes of the aromatic structure. Candied pear, apricot, honey and saffron ennoble the contours of the palate. An expansive, voluminous, candied Monbazillac, just the way we like it."
