Sauternes & Barsac
Home to some of the world's greatest sweet wines, Sauternes and Barsac produce extraordinary wines of richness, complexity and remarkable longevity. Created from grapes transformed by noble rot (Botrytis cinerea), these golden wines combine luscious sweetness with vibrant acidity, delivering layers of citrus, apricot, tropical fruit, honey and spice that become increasingly complex with age.
Far more versatile than simply a dessert wine, Sauternes and Barsac are superb with foie gras, blue cheese and fruit-based desserts, while also providing fascinating pairings with spicy Asian dishes. Whether enjoyed young for their vibrant fruit or after decades in the cellar, the finest examples offer an extraordinary combination of richness, freshness and complexity.
