Semillon

Categories: Food & Drink | Alcoholic Beverages | Wine

  • Semillon is most often used in dessert wines. It is a grape that is normally blended, rather than compromising its own varietal. While its home is considered to be in France,http://www.wineanorak.com/semillon.htm more semillon grapes grow in Chile than anywhere else.http://www.winepros.org/wine101/grape_profiles/semillon.htm It is interesting to note that while Semilon is used in dessert wines, most notably the most famous and expensive Chateau d'Yquemhttp://www.winepros.org/wine101/grape_profiles/semillon.htm, it is also used in the making of dry wines, such as Chateau Broustet 'Blanc Sec de Broustet' 1998 Barsac 2eme Cru Classe.http://www.wineanorak.com/semillon.htm

  • Serving Information

    Customarily used in blended wines, both sweet and dry, Semillon depends upon a certain kind of rot, called 'noble rot' in order to concentrate its flavors for a successful blending. Recommended growing regions include Sauternes (France) and Australia, although it is grown in many more locations. The sweet blends pair well with foie gras and the dry with seafood and poultry.http://www.wineaccess.com/wine/grape/semillon/
