Description
Sauternes is a sweet wine region in Bordeaux, where fog-borne noble rot concentrates the sugar in Sémillon and Sauvignon Blanc grapes. La Tour Blanche was ranked a Premier Cru in the 1855 Sauternes classification. This 2023 Émotions is a dessert wine from those two grapes.
Blue cheese such as Roquefort is the classic match, and foie gras or a fruit tart work too. It pairs with salty and spicy food, since the sweetness balances heat. Serve it well chilled, around 45 to 50°F, in a small glass.
