Geocache Description:


Sémillon is one of Bordeaux's big white wine grapes (the other being Sauvignon Blanc and to a lesser degree Muscadelle). Especially vulnerable to Noble Rot, which concentrates the sugars of late harvest wines and is responsible for many of the world's most famous dessert wines, Sémillon is a perfect candidate for sweet white wine. The Sémillon grape is the dominant grape used in making the ultra unctuous, sweet Sauternes of Bordeaux. While Sémillon is the major contributing grape in Bordeaux's sweet wines, it's frequently blended with Sauvignon Blanc to create a dry, white wine known simply as Bordeaux blanc.
