Bordeaux: Sauternes! Sweet, full-bodied golden dessert wine

Bordeaux wine from Sauternes are richer. In those wines it’s easy to find pineapple, peaches, flowers, pears, apricots, nectarines, orange, vanilla and coconut are not uncommon. These are unique wines that are best served slightly chilled, perhaps close to 60 degrees. Sauternes are best enjoyed with salty cheese, spicy food and of course the best pairing of all, Foie Gras. While Sauternes are considered dessert wines, due to their high levels of sugar, more often than not, they do not pair well with dessert. Sauternes and other sweet wines need to be sweeter than what you are eating.
