Decoding Sweet Bordeaux: Part 3, Aroma

A perfect prelude to Sweet Bordeaux’s savory taste, the combination of Sémillon, Sauvignon Blanc and Muscadelle grapes creates a symphony of aroma notes that can be distinctly identified with this sweet wine. 

The Sémillon grape provides notes of almond, angelica, honey, green apple, fresh butter, and cinnamon. Sauvignon Blanc contributes tasting notes of citrus and tropical fruit while Muscadelle provides hints of musc and floral notes. 

Random fact: Approximately 80-90% of what we perceive as “taste” can be attributed to the sense of smell - making it hard to enjoy your Sweet Bordeaux when you have a cold!
