Description
Sainte-Croix-du-Mont is an appellation in the Bordeaux region of France, specifically known for producing sweet white wines. Unlike some other well-known sweet wine regions like Sauternes, Sainte-Croix-du-Mont is not classified with a status, but it produces high-quality wines that can offer excellent value.
Tasting Notes Sainte-Croix-du-Mont wines typically have a deep golden or amber color. The nose is rich and complex, with aromas of honey, dried apricots, figs, marmalade, and candied fruits. There may also be floral notes and hints of vanilla and spice from oak aging. These wines are luscious and sweet on the palate, with a balanced acidity that prevents them from being cloying. Flavors mirror the aromas, with honey, ripe stone fruits, citrus peel, and sometimes nutty or toasty notes. The finish is long and lingering, with a harmonious balance of sweetness and acidity.
Serving Suggestions
Serve slightly chilled, around 50-54°F (10-12°C), to enjoy the full expression of its flavors and aromas.
Food Pairing: Saussignac sweet wines pair beautifully with foie gras, blue cheeses (such as Roquefort or Gorgonzola), and rich desserts like fruit tarts, crème brûlée, or almond pastries. They can also be enjoyed on their own as a dessert wine.
