The wines tend to be a bit heavier and at the same time firmer than Barsacs. As it happens, most of our examples right now are from the latter two areas, including Rieussec, Lafaurie-Peyraguey, and the great Yquem. The result is a wine high in alcohol and relatively low in residual sugar and acidity compared with the great sweet wines of the Loire or Germany, for example, but they're still quite lush and strongly concentrated, which keeps them going in the cellar for a very long time. Add to this that this region's sweet wines are frequently marked by barrel aging in a way many other sweet wines are not, and the wines of Sauternes stand as something singular in style.
