Sauternes is rich, sweet and complex. Fabulous as a dessert wine, but also a classic complement to foie gras and other intensely rich dishes.

Sauternes wine is another of my favorite overlooked treasures. Like everything French, location is key and this sweet treat comes from the Graves area of the Bordeaux region. This golden colored sweet wine is made from Sémillon, Sauvignon Blanc, and Muscadelle grapes which are partially raisined as a result of a very unique natural process. You end up with sweeter grapes that yield a rich wine. The labor-intensive process and smaller odds of success make the wine very special.
Though it pairs well with some desserts, it is perfectly capable of being dessert for a lover of sweet wines.
Those who enjoy ice wines should give Sauternes a try. Though you will find many very expensive bottles, you can also find some reasonably priced options at your local wine store. Stateside, Sauterne (without the 's') usually refers to a lower quality wine. You want the real thing before you start to venture out and experiment.
