2001 · Monbazillac Cuvee Madame

Château Tirecul La Gravière is a family-run, privately owned estate in Monbazillac, in France’s Sud-Ouest, owned and managed by Bruno Bilancini since 1992. The vineyard mixes old and younger vines, with production centered on botrytized Monbazillac wines, including the grand vin, Les Pins, and the occasional Cuvée Madame. In some years, the estate also makes a dry Bergerac Sec. Organic conversion began in 2009, and all wines from 2012 onward are certified organic and vegan, with farming described as sustainable. The domaine is clearly focused on sweet wine tradition, careful vineyard work, and estate-led production.
