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: 3/5 - As reviewed by Decanter Rich and powerful botrytis concentration. There's a lot of sweetness and richness on the palate, balanced with a nice acidity. Ready 2009 onwards. (Tasted en primeur)
