Château Bélingard 2005 Monbazillac

Country: France / Southwest France
Variety: Bordeaux-style White Blend
Winery: Château Bélingard /

As in nearby Sauternes, 2005 produced some exceptionally rich botrytised wine in Monbazillac. This example from one of the leading Bergerac producers certainly shows plenty of richness, but it seems rather too sugary, showing toffee flavors and fatness. The acidity is missing.
