muscadelle  
Along with Sauvignon and Semillon, Muscadelle is a minor variety used in the production of dry and sweet white wines in Graves, Barsac and Sauternes regions. Muscadelle is a delicate grape variety has an intense, flowery character and is usually used in small quantities - no more than 5% - to add extra bouquet to sweet wines. With its slightly acid structure, Muscadelle gives floral and elegant flavours with musky characteristics. In Sauternes -Barsac, the Muscadelle berries mature rapidly and similarly to Sémillon, its grapes are sensitive to botrytis. Elsewhere in the World, it is planted in small quantities in California and in Australia.
