Château de Monbazillac (16th century) - the castle and it's vineyards are symbolic for the Bergerac region. The well known AOC of Monbazillac, an Appellation d'Origine Contrôlée is a high quality sweet white wine. Made and only sold from grapes grown in Monbazillac that are affected by the "noble rot" (Botrytis cinerea). The appellation covers almost 2,000 hectares of vineyards where no mechanical harvesting is allowed.
