Sauternes
Sauternes represent the sweeter side of Bordeaux. They are made from the region’s rare white grapes. Built on the thin-skins of Sémillon with a bit of bright acidity, generously donated by Sauvignon Blanc, Sauternes (and Barsac) make exceptional dessert wines that share a particular affinity for oak and most will age for several decades.
