Sauternes Sémillon Sauvignon Blanc
Sauternes, Graves, Bordeaux, France
#AgedWineTuesday
Dark golden in color.
Strong nose of apples, over ripen citrus fruit, light nuts, tropical fruits, honey, mangoes, light pineapples, minerals and spices.
Full-bodied and elegant with medium plus acidity.
Sweet on the palate with citrus, over ripened apples, melons, spices, honeysuckle, mangoes and dried fruits.
Long finish with apricots and honey notes.
This 12 year old sweet wine from Sauternes is absolutely fantastic.
Creamy and rich. Fruit forward and complex. Nicely balanced with a nice mouthfeel. Elegant and extracted
I've had a few vintages of this Second Growth Sauternes, and this 2014 is beautiful. Not as rich as the 2019 vintage, but just as gorgeous.
Will continue to age nicely in the next 25 years.
Wine Enthusiasts 95 points.
Good by itself as a dessert, and will pair nicely with blue cheese.
A blend of 90% Sémillon with Sauvignon Blanc and Muscadelle.
14% alcohol by volume.
94 points.
$40.

1983 drunk in mid 2025. Showing age but still delicious. Honey and date flavors and aromas with a fair bit of acidity. Quite delicious.

Good sauternes from a great vintage. Golden with a slight watery hem, though with ample legs; well-defined nose of apricots, orange marmalade, and honey (with a hint of plantains?); a little low on acid but still enough to bin it all together. Decent weight and length. A very good Stilton and pâté wine!
