The Art of French Sweetness
The Haut Charmes Sauternes 2015 Sweet White Wine is a brand wine from the Sauternes AOC, the Bordeaux area famous for its sweet wines from grapes affected by botrytis cinerea (noble rot). In its classic 375 ml format, it unfolds aromas of candied apricot, acacia honey and citrus notes. Sémillon brings body and unctuousness, and Sauvignon Blanc the acidity that keeps every sip fresh and elegant.
