What to Expect

The great sweet wines of Bordeaux, Sauternes, are among the most decadent, complex and simply enjoyable wines. Based on a blend of Semillon and Sauvignon Blanc that has been infected with the "noble rot", Botrytis Cinerea, Sauternes are rich, honied wines bursting with notes of vanilla, coconut, dried apricots and subtle spice tones. They are usually very sweet and rich with a soft quality to them that makes them appealing in their youth yet they can age and improve for decades. The neighboring village of Barsac frequently makes wines comparable to those of Sauternes.

Reviews

Decanter

Rating: 2/5 - As reviewed by Decanter Very fresh, albeit slightly clumsy botrytis fruit. Nice fruit on the palate, but only moderate sweetness. A bit heavy footed at present and lacking style, but pleasantly fresh. Ready 2006 onwards. (Tasted en primeur)
