Item # 25650 750mL

A divine, superb Sauternes. Suduiraut, a first growth (second only to d'Yquem), has been creating this noble wine since the 16th century.This wine reminds us of honeysuckle flowers pressed into beeswax. The lanolin texture coats the palate in luscious, never-cloying sweetness, and perceptible botrytis notes. More time in the bottle will allow the elements to integrate: this beautiful wine will provide massive pleasure in seven years or so, though it is drinking exceptionally well now. It is composed of 90% Sémillon and 10% Sauvignon Blanc with an average age of 25 years, grown in gravelly, sandy soils bound with pockets of clay.

Cat pee aside, Sauvignon Blanc (sometimes called "Fumé Blanc" in California) is a bit of a chameleon in terms of style, and quite utterly at the whim of the winemaker. Some are fermented in barrel, others in stainless steel. Some...

Bordeaux

Situated on the mid-Atlantic coast of France around the Gironde river, Bordeaux is home to some of the most legendary wines on earth. There are (for all intents and purposes) five grape varieties permitted under French wine law for red Bordeaux: Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc, and, very infrequently, Petit Verdot and Malbec. For white Bordeaux, only three varieties are permitted: Sauvignon Blanc, Sémillion, and Muscadelle. The exact percentages of each grape variety used in any...
