Saussignac AOC

Saussignac (French pronunciation: [sosiɲak]) is a wine appellation (Appellation d'origine contrôlée, AOC) in South West France.

The Saussignac AOC is used exclusively for a sweet white dessert wine, similar to Monbazillac but a little drier.

To qualify for the appellation, the grapes must be grown, and the wine produced, in the four communes of Saussignac, Razac-de-Saussignac, Monestier and Gageac-et-Rouillac.

[1] A fundamental difference between Saussignac and all other sweet or late-harvest wines is that chaptalization, or the addition of sugar, is forbidden under the rules of the AOC.
