The small appellation lies as an enclave in the large Bergerac area in the wine-growing region of south-west France. Already in the Middle Ages, the Franciscan monk and poet François Rabelais (1494-1553) had the main character Pantagruel praise this wine in his famous work "Gargantua and Pantugruel". The vineyards cover around 100 hectares of vines in the municipalities of Gageac-et-Rouillac, Monestier, Razac de Saussignac and Saussignac. The "lieblich" to sweet white wines are blended from the Sémillon, Sauvignon Bl anc and Muscadelle varieties. Well-known producers are Château Court-les-Muts, Château de Miaudoux and Domaine de Richard.
The Wine lexicon helps me to keep up to date and refresh my knowledge. Thank you for this Lexicon that will never end in terms of topicality! That's what makes it so exciting to come back often.
