WINE DESCRIPTION
Barton & Guestier Sauternes is a luscious and complex dessert wine produced in the Sauternes appellation of Bordeaux, France. The wine is made from grapes grown in the region's unique microclimate, where morning mists and warm afternoons encourage the growth of Botrytis cinerea, a fungus that concentrates the grapes' sugars and flavors. The grapes are carefully handpicked and sorted before being pressed and fermented in oak barrels. The resulting wine is rich and honeyed, with notes of apricot, peach, and vanilla, balanced by a refreshing acidity. Barton & Guestier Sauternes is a perfect pairing for foie gras, blue cheese, or fruit-based desserts.
