About Semillon

Semillon is a golden-skinned grape used to make dry and sweet white wines, mostly in Bordeaux France, Chile and recently Australia. When dry, it is referred to as Bordeaux blanc and is permitted in the appellations of Pessac-Leognan, and Entre-deux-mers. In this form, Semillon is generally a minor constituent in the blend.

Because of its susceptibility to noble rot, Semillon is the dominant variety in the sweet white wines of Bordeaux, such as the wine of Sauternes and Barsac.
