Château Tirecul La Gravière

The long-standing tradition of Monbazillac sweet wines finds a patient interpretation here, centered on botrytis and the meticulous selection of successive harvests. The estate’s Sauterres and Monbazillac wines display a delicate sweetness, supported by a surprising acidity that prevents any heaviness. The clay-limestone soils, combined with the microclimate of the Dordogne Valley, yield full-bodied yet never heavy wines, with a flavor profile ranging from candied quince to mild spices. The dry cuvées, often overlooked in the region, reveal a more taut and crystalline dimension of Sémillon. An estate that showcases all the elegance of Monbazillac when it is crafted with patience.
