Tasting profile
Structure: medium-bodied, medium acidity, sweet
Côtes de Bergerac Moelleux is the semi-sweet white of the Bergerac hills — Sémillon-led with Sauvignon and Muscadelle, picked ripe for gentle botrytis and residual sweetness in the moelleux register: honeyed apricot and candied citrus, softer and lighter than a full Sauternes-style liquoreux. Serve well chilled as an aperitif or with fruit desserts and blue cheese.
