Chateau Simon Sauternes Demi is an exceptional sweet white dessert wine from the renowned Bordeaux region, Sauternes, in France. This wine is primarily crafted from Sémillon, Sauvignon Blanc, and Muscadelle grape varieties, carefully selected for their Botrytis cinerea infection. It presents a bright golden color and offers a complex bouquet of honey, candied apricot, and confit citrus. On the palate, it is sweet, enveloping, and balanced, with excellent acidity enhancing its freshness, culminating in a persistent finish. Aged in oak barriques for about 18-24 months, it pairs perfectly with foie gras, blue cheeses, and fruit-based desserts. Serve at 10-12℃ in a small sweet wine glass.
