According to « Curnonsky », fine gourmet of the 19th century, Sauternes wine should be considered as one of the five greatest white wines in the world. You will find in this selection a wider range of precious sweet nectar, as long as they reach a perfect balance between residual sugar and natural acidity of the grape. Absolute « madeleines de Proust », these liquid treasures are the perfect way to finish off a festive meal. One could rightly point out that, even though the French gastronomic meal and its rituals have been inscribed on the UNESCO intangible heritage list, we tend to forget how to respect these very same rituals in regards to sweet white wines. It must be acknowledged that sugar is not sought-after nowadays…This explains our obsession with selecting only digestible wines that will perfectly match with blue cheese, lemon pie, candied fruit panettone or orange cake…Christmastime is looking good.
