The Château Monbazillac is symbolic of the Bergerac region and has stood proudly since the end of the 16^th century when the quality of its wines was well known far beyond the borders of Aquitaine. 

Monbazillac wine, so renowned in the 17th century, benefitted from the exodus of Protestants to Holland following the Revocation of the Edict of Nantes. The exiles became zealous promoters of these great sweet white wines, hugely appreciated by their hosts.  Four centuries later, Monbazillac still enjoys this reputation, thanks to the talent of its impassioned and determined winemakers, as well as the introduction of science which has enhanced the quality of the vineyard’s grands crus.

Sheila enjoyed smelling the grapes and eating the odd one before finally tasting the finished product!!
