Encyclopedia > Mauzac

Mauzac is a minor grape variety mainly grown in the Gaillac region southeast of Bordeaux in France.


Used with Len de l'El to create mildly sweet and sparkling white blended wines. It is also known in other regions under the local synonym name of Blanquette; (not to be confused with a similarly named grape grown in certain regions of Australia).


Mauzac is a commune of the Haute-Garonne département in France.
