Chateau de Monbazillac


The Chateau de Monbazillac, Dordogne, France.
Monbazillac is located a short distance to the south of Bergerac.
The castle itself is a listed historical monument, and dates from the 16th century.
It is in an early Renaissance style, and is in an attractive wooded setting with far-reaching views across the region.
The castle contains some finely decorated rooms and apartments.
But it is for the wine that the Monbazillac region is best known. 3500 hectares of vines produce one of the most widely known (and most highly reputed) dessert (sweet) white wines in the world.
The chateau was built in 1550 and miraculously has come unscathed through the various wars and revolutions that have followed this period of history.
