Wine from Sauternes

Nestled in the Bordeaux region, the Sauternes wine area captivates with its golden, botrytis-affected sweet wines, primarily crafted from Sémillon, Sauvignon Blanc, and Muscadelle grapes. Unique for its misty microclimate alongside the Ciron River, Sauternes produces rich, honeyed varietals with notes of apricot, citrus, and spices, reflecting its noble rot, or “pourriture noble.” Home to illustrious estates like Château d'Yquem, Sauternes intertwines centuries of winemaking tradition with opulent feasts, embodying a cultural heritage that celebrates indulgence and refinement.
