Expect Sauternes, made from Semillon or Sauvignon Blanc grapes, to have fresh aromas of tropical fruit and orange peel. It may also have hints of honey, saffron, and apricot. Yet the finest wines finish almost dry, often minerally. Look for Sauternes labeled "Cru Classé," indicating a consistently top-quality château.
