Prince de St.Aubin Sauternes

A Golden Delight from Bordeaux

Prince de St. Aubin Sauternes is an exquisite dessert wine from the renowned Sauternes appellation in Bordeaux, France. Deliciously sweet and charming, it is one of the darlings of Sauternes! Crafted from the Semillon, Sauvignon Blanc, and Muscadelle grapes, this luxurious sweet wine exemplifies the region’s reputation for rich, honeyed flavours and exceptional balance.

Tasting Notes

This golden-hued wine opens with captivating aromas of acacia flowers, honey, and candied orange peel, intertwined with hints of almonds and a touch of vanilla. The palate is dense and full-bodied, offering luscious flavours of ripe peaches, marmalade, and caramelised nuts, with a warm, gentle finish that lingers delicately.

Perfect Serve

Serve chilled, around 10-12°C, to highlight the wine’s luscious sweetness and vibrant acidity. Prince de St. Aubin Sauternes is the perfect companion to rich desserts like crème brûlée, fruit tarts, or blue cheese. It shines equally well when paired with a hard cheese platter or a slice of foie gras terrine on toast, making it an elegant choice for any special occasion.

Artisan Craftsmanship

Famously located within the Graves section of Bordeaux, this area is frequented by Botrytis cinerea (noble rot), a natural phenomenon that concentrates the grapes’ sugar levels, giving way to this luscious nectar that we all enjoy today! The traditional method of production results in a richly flavoured, naturally sweet wine that stands as one of Bordeaux’s finest offerings. The careful blending of Semillon, Sauvignon Blanc, and Muscadelle grapes adds complexity, with each varietal contributing distinct elements to the final wine.
