Muscadelle is a white grape variety from the Bordeaux
region. It is the least important Bordeaux grape variety. In contrast to
Sauvignon, Muscadelle is less and less used in the making of
Bordeaux wines because of its fragile nature, which means it is not always
resistant to botrytis bunch rot. Muscadelle is identified by
its medium-sized clusters and grapes of relatively bright yellow colour.
It contributes a strong, musky aroma with white flower notes.
