Is Sauternes (Grand Cru Classé) a good wine?
Tasting profile
A balanced Sauternes dessert wine showing saffron, peach, and honey alongside caramel and a touch of mineral, iron-tinged acidity that keeps the sweetness in check. Rich and persistent on the palate with a subtle bitter edge on the finish, drinking beautifully now and pairing well with foie gras or cheese.
