  This is an extraordinary wine . Apparently its name is to reflect forgotten winemaking practice . It is a blend of 50% S/Blanc ( though that might be difficult to tell ) with 25% Muscadelle and 25% Mauzac. The Muscadelle might be thought to be dominant as on the nose ( the wine is a deep but not browning yellow) there is a lovely spicy pain d'epices note reminiscent of fine sweet wines but there is an appley twist on the palate from the Mauzac . The Sauvignon also can be noted in a grassy back note .
  
  It has a long finish but is clearly dry . It is very much a wine for food and would suit something with a mushroom sauce . So much more interesting than so many clean , efficient and dull white wines
