Literature
Barsac is a small village about 40 miles (65km) south of Bordeaux, in the south-west of France. The sweet white Barsac wines produced from the village's vineyards are some of the finest on Earth, although they remain overshadowed by those of the village's more famous neighbor, Sauternes.
