      • Playful ;
      • Artistic.


      A new 300m2 museum space dedicated to viticulture and winemaking

      The museum space dedicated to Monbazillac wines stimulates visitors' senses and encourages immersion in the heart of the largest sweet wine vineyard in the world. It will allow all audiences to discover the secrets and specificities of this golden nectar, through its history, its terroir, its winegrowers and its know-how.
      300m2 where the entire oenological universe shines!

      The visitor at the heart of an immersive exhibition

      The visitor will experience several interactive and collaborative experiences that will satisfy their curiosity. This “ Noble wine ” exhibition will define the territorial and wine-growing identity of Monbazillac thanks to several themed spaces in which the visitor will wander freely.

      A large wall projection allows you to take in the beauty of the vineyards at a glance and brings the landscape of the Monbazillac region to life to the rhythm of nature. This "mapping" encourages the total immersion of the viewer in the heart of the Dordogne and gives him, through this invitation to travel, the time to live to the rhythm of the seasons, to abandon himself to the slowness useful for contemplation and discovery.

      Interviews with winegrowers and the cellar master will punctuate the tour like a dialogue that is woven between women and men. Visitors will also be able to renew their knowledge by consulting infographics recalling ancestral know-how passed down for several generations.


      Exploring the aromas of Sémillon, Sauvignon and Muscadelle is tasting the future.

      3 GRAPE VARIETIES TO TASTE THE MYSTERY OF MONBAZILLAC


      • Semillon

      Sémillon brings power and structure to blended wines, particularly when combined with Sauvignon, of which it is the preferred partner for the production of Monbazillac.
      Its color is golden yellow, the aromas offer a wide range, from candied fruit of apricot, pineapple or mango to "roast". The grape variety develops complex flavors of spices , honey or mushroom.


      • Sauvignon Blanc

      Sauvignon Blanc is the grape variety that winemakers incorporate into Sémillon – the dominant grape variety. It brings its freshness and fruit aromas.


      Its light color has green highlights. The grape variety develops vegetal and fruity notes of citrus fruits, rhubarb, added floral touches of elderberry and mineral touches. Its acidity in the mouth gives an invigorating sensation appreciated for sweet wines .


      • Muscadelle

      Muscadelle brings floral notes of acacia and honeysuckle and fruity notes of peach and apricot enhanced with spicy touches to blended wines. It delivers a soft and smooth sensation in the mouth.


      3 SPACES TO TASTE THE FUTURE AND EXPLORE YOUR SENSES


      • The Pavilion of Aromas

      Located in the Cour du Château, the Pavillon des arômes is a space that places tasting at the center of the experience.

      The visitor takes a seat around the tables, 3 wines are offered to him and are commented on by a team of professionals who reveal all the secrets of the wines tasted to the participants. An ideal moment to deepen the discovery of our wines!

      More than a tasting, we hope for a journey that projects each person towards a universe that will be their own. In any case, a moment of sharing and exploration !

      This adventure of the senses at the Pavillon des arômes lasts 30 minutes and is scheduled at the start of the visit according to different themes.

      • The shop space

      The entire boutique space has been completely renovated to allow the eye to take in one last breathtaking view of the park and the castle through the bay window.

    A really great time with the family. From the explanations, the cat's visit, to the beautiful scenery. It was fun, enjoyable, and a delicious tasting. Too bad for us, the exhibition doesn't start until Saturday... But we left delighted.
