For over
40 years, Armand Vidal,
already owner of the excellent
Château Treuil
de Nailhac, has been developing
and expanding the 70-hectare estate which is capable of
producing a total of 350,000 bottles of wine.
MONBAZILLAC, 100km inland from Bordeaux, benefits from an
ocean climate with constant, high temperatures during the
vine’s vegetation period. In autumn, thanks to the soil and
climate (misty mornings and sun in the afternoons), noble rot,
or BOTRYTIS CINEREA, develops on the grapes and Monbazillac’s
luscious, sweet ‘liquoreux’ wine - « Périgord’s Gold » - is
the result. |
