An important white grape of Bordeaux, including the prized dessert wine, Sauternes. Wines can be surprisingly rich and when oaked, can taste similar to Chardonnay. Semillon often features a nice salinity, while flavors of lemon, beeswax, peach and chamomile are also very common. Semillon produces dry, medium acidity, low alcohol white wines, that pair excellently with richer fish entrées such as black cod and with white meats including chicken and pork chops. Try spicing with fresh fennel and dill.
