| Sauternes Sauternes blends account for a very small amount of the wine production in Bordeaux, but contain a great amount of flavor. These highly sought-after wines are made from various grape varieties, are available in many styles, and achieve a mouthwatering balance of sweet and tart. Their notes of rich honey, peach, apricot and nuts pair wonderfully with savory French cuisine. Bordeaux Wine Labels When you take a look at the wine labels here, something seems to be missing - the type of grape. That's because, in Bordeaux, blends rule the world and the grape variety simply isn't as important as where the grapes are grown. So, rather than being named "Cabernet Sauvignon" or "Merlot," you will find that these wines are named after the château and appellation they come from. |
