Saussignac AOC white wine is made from an assemblage of
Sémillon, Sauvignon, Muscadelle, Ondec and Chenin Blanc. It is
a rich, full wine whose aroma of acacia, peach and honeysuckle
develops over time into a generous, complex bouquet. The
harvest of partially raisined, or dried and shrivelled, grapes
gives this wine its sweetness. Saussignac AOC wines can apply
for the ‘liquoreux’ (complex, rich sweet wines) denomination
if the grapes have been allowed to develop Noble Rot instead
of drying on the vines (as can Haut Montravel AOC wines). |
