Barsac
Barsac is an AOC located within the Bordeaux region of France, primarily known for its sweet white wines. The appellation is situated on the left bank of the Garonne River, adjacent to the Sauternes AOC, and benefits from a microclimate conducive to the development of noble rot, or Botrytis cinerea. Barsac wines are characterized by their rich, honeyed flavors and complexity, resulting from the late harvest of grapes. The appellation has a long history of wine production, with its wines being recognized since the 17th century.
