French Bordeaux Sweet Wines

    Filter

      Sweet Bordeaux wines, particularly from renowned appellations like Sauternes and Barsac, are celebrated for their luxurious richness and complexity. Made primarily from Sémillon, Sauvignon Blanc, and Muscadelle grapes affected by Botrytis cinerea (noble rot), these wines develop intense flavors of honey, apricot, marmalade, and exotic spices. The noble rot concentrates sugars and flavors while preserving acidity, resulting in a wine that’s both opulent and balanced. These golden-hued wines are often aged in oak, enhancing their depth and aging potential. Sweet Bordeaux wines are a classic pairing for foie gras, blue cheese, or fruit-based desserts, but they also shine sipped slowly on their own.
