Dry while Bordeaux, when done well, is one of the most food-friendly wines on the planet, especially when served with a delicate preparation of white-fleshed fish or shellfish. The sterling example — a classic Bordeaux blend of sauvignon blanc, semillon and muscadelle — boasts a smoky aroma and excellent intensity, character and edginess. It offers vibrant flavors of pear, green apple, herbs and very subtle hints of figs and honey. It would be a great restaurant selection.
