The least of the Bordeaux trio of Sauvignon, Semillon and Muscadelle, this grape nevertheless adds a certain fragrant quality to the dry and sweet whites of Bordeaux and is responsible for the wonderfully sticky, malty, fortified Tokays of north-east Victoria.
It can produce decent wine in Italy's Alto-Adige, eastern Europe and in England and it formed the basis for the modern New Zealand table wine industry back in the 1970s.
There are four main varieties of Muscat, the finest being Muscat à Petits Grains, followed by Muscat of Alexandria, then Muscat Hamburg and the lesser Muscat Ottonel.

Unless it’s made into lush fortified wine as Liqueur Tokay, the muscadelle grape is a poor cousin in Australian vineyards.
The resultant wine is fresh, crisp and dry with a lovely lightness attributable to the lower alcohol of about 10%.
(Indeed, this grape, in Australia, was identified as muscadelle only in 1976.)

 Rocky Mountain News: Columnists
Tokay also happens to be the name of a famous Hungarian dessert wine, and Tokay is also what they call pinot grigio in Alsace.
Dry & sweet: In Bordeaux, muscadelle is blended with sauvignon blanc and semillon to make dry, white Bordeaux such as Graves, as well as the mega-rich dessert wines of Sauternes.
Fortified: Australia has been making a thick, molasses-brown fortified dessert wine from muscadelle since 1820, called - just to muddle things even more - Tokay.

 Bergerac - The other great wine growing region in Aquitaine
Although both areas make wonderful sweet wines - Sauternes in Bordeaux and Monbazillac in Bergerac, the latter often use a third grape variety, the Muscadelle, with the Sémillon/Sauvignon combination used in Sauternes type wines.
This grape gives a spiciness to Monbazillacs, not found in Sauternes, and I find it very attractive.
While the Bordeaux area does make some Rosé wines ("Clairette de Bordeaux"), it is not very common, and not widely sold, whereas Bergerac pink wines are a real success story.

It is important to remember that in the great white wines of Bordeaux — both dry and sweet — Sauvignon is often blended in equal proportions with Sémillon, with a touch of Muscadelle added for seasoning.
Naturally high in both alcohol and acidity, these great white wines can age for years.
The same wonderful qualities also provide the core of acidity and vibrancy in many of the great white wines of the Graves.

 Bordeaux Wine Background and Information
There are many levels of quality of wine grown in Bordeaux, so for the 1855 Exposition Universelle de Paris (sort of like a World Fair) Napoléon III asked a panel to break the region's wines down by price (therefore, hopefully, quality as well).
Graves, the dry whites, are made by blending mostly Sauvignon Blanc with a small amount of Sauvignon Gris.
Sauternes, the sweeter whites, are made with Sémillon, Sauvignon and a drop of Muscadelle.

One can’t mention aromatic wines without including Gewurztraminer which seduces many with its rich texture, complex spice, honeyed lyche fruit and floral rose petal aromas.
In Bordeaux Sauvignon Blanc is blended with Semillon and a little Muscadelle to hide excessive “ grassy “ aromas resulting from pyrazine specifically found in this grape variety.
Some like the softer New Zealand style Sauvignon Blanc; others prefer the Loire version, which is more aromatic and pleasing.
