(From Wikipedia, the free Encyclopedia)
Wines from Sauternes, especially its flagship estate Château d' Yquem, can be very expensive, but this is due to limited availability as much as to the cost of production. Barsac lies within Sauternes, and is entitled to use either name. Somewhat similar but less expensive and typically less-distinguished wines are produced in the neighboring regions of Monbazillac, Cérons, and Cadillac.
Sauternes is a very sweet, intense wine, and is typically not served as a table wine. It can be drunk by itself in place of dessert, with a dessert, or with rich savory foods like foie gras (the canonical pairing) or Roquefort cheese.
