Once a poor cousin to neighboring Sauternes and the other sweet-wine producing towns clustered around Bergerac , things changed in Monbazillac when machine-harvesting was outlawed in the 1990's. With several careful passes needed to pick the super-ripe grapes and vintages declared only when conditions allow, this once good alternative is now a great choice for quality.
