Sauternes
Sémillon (with Sauvignon Blanc, Muscadelle) · Sauternes, Bordeaux, France
Sauternes is the world's most celebrated sweet wine — a lusciously rich, golden dessert wine from Bordeaux made from grapes shrivelled by "noble rot," tasting of honey, apricot, candied citrus and marmalade yet held together by a bright vein of acidity that stops it cloying.
