Spicy food in Bordeaux

Dessert · Full-bodied · High acidity · Elegant · Festive

Among the finest Premier Cru Classe Sauternes, with an exceptionally high Semillon content (up to 100% in some vintages) that delivers an unusually pure, concentrated expression of noble rot. Pineapple, candied citrus, honeycomb, and powdered ginger with vivid acidity; the 2013 renaissance under Silvio Denz transformed quality.

Dessert · Full-bodied · High acidity · Contemplative · Elegant

The world's most celebrated botrytised sweet wine; the sole Premier Cru Superieur in the 1855 Sauternes classification. Semillon-dominant with intense noble-rot character: beeswax, saffron, apricot, and honey balanced by electric acidity. Ages for decades and improves for 50 or more years in great vintages.
