Saussignac

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Saussignac wine appellation is used exclusively for a sweet white dessert wine, similar to Monbazillac but a little drier. The grapes used are generally Semillon grapes which have been affected by botrytis cinerea. To qualify for the appellation, the grapes must be grown, and the wine produced, in the four communes of Saussignac, Razac-de-Saussignac, Monestier and Gageac-Rouillac.
