About this wine

Chateau Briatte Sauternes is a classic dessert wine, affectionately known as a sticky for its rich, honeyed style. Crafted in Bordeaux's prestigious Sauternes region, it brings together indulgent sweetness with refreshing balance. Expect enticing aromas of apricot, marmalade, and blossom, leading to layers of honey, candied citrus, and tropical fruit on the palate.

Best served chilled alongside blue cheeses, foie gras, or fruit-based desserts like poached pears or tarte tatin. It's also lovely on its own to round off a meal or enjoy as a special-occasion sipper.

About the producer

Château Briatte lies in the heart of Sauternes, just west of Preignac, where Michel Roudes is the third generation of his family to run the property. Eighteen hectares are planted largely to Sémillon, with Sauvignon Blanc, Sauvignon Gris and Muscadelle alongside. Yields are tiny by any measure, and the botrytised wines show honey, quince and apricot with balancing citrus.
