A sweet white wine from the Sauternes district of Bordeaux, made from Sémillon, Sauvignon Blanc and Muscadelle grapes affected by the noble rot Botrytis cinerea, which shrivels them and concentrates their sugar. Golden and luscious, it balances deep honeyed sweetness against fresh acidity, with apricot, honey and candied-citrus notes. It is the classic partner to foie gras.
