About Muscadelle
In France, it is a minor part in the dry and sweet wines of Bordeaux, such as Sauternes. It rarely makes up more than 10% of the blend, which is dominated by Sémillon and Sauvignon blanc.
It is also used in the sweet wines from Monbazillac AOC, that have a higher proportion of Muscadelle (25%).
