This French appellation located in Entre deux mers region of Bordeaux produces sweet white wines that are primarily based on late harvest Sauvignon Blanc and Sémillon, while the official guidelines also permit the use of Muscadelle and Sauvignon Gris.
These complex and rich wines tend to have a dense texture, concentrated flavor, and an exceptionally long finish while remaining lively and fresh. Their aromatic profile typically includes notes of honey, ripe peaches, candied and tropical fruit, yellow flowers, and raisins.
These wines are an excellent match to foie gras, fresh fruit, blue cheese, and creamy or fruit-based desserts.
