Château Filhot
Sauternes Sémillon-Sauvignon Blanc Blend
Sauternes, Graves, Bordeaux, France
This wine has a lovely, golden hue, like a room bathed in the glow from a fireplace. On the nose, candied apricots and a hint of lemon peel lead the way. Honey traces portend sweetness. The palate has a special delivery for a sweet tooth. Apples, peaches and pears mingle in a viscous, mouth coating orgy of fruit. There is a good level of acidity, too, in case you're not having it just for dessert. A Brie would go nicely, or a triple cream cheese.

So fresh. Long, great fruit, almost racy acidity.
