Semillon Sauvignon Blanc is a blended white wine that combines Semillon and Sauvignon Blanc grapes. The blend is commonly found in Bordeaux, France, where it is typically a dry, medium-bodied wine with moderate acidity.
The characteristics of the blend mostly depend on the percentage of each grape and the region they're grown in. Sauvignon Blanc typically brings freshness, acidity, and aromas of grass, green fruits like apple and gooseberry, and tropical fruits like passion fruit and mango. Semillon, on the other hand, typically brings richness, body, and flavors of honey, figs, and toasted nuts. Depending on the winemaker, Semillon can also carry flavors of lemon, peach, and apricots.
The blend is often light yellow or gold in color and typically offers a balanced flavor profile with an undertone of minerality. The Semillon grape tends to age well and lends this quality to the blend, allowing it to develop more complex flavors and aromas over time.
A classic food pairing for Semillon Sauvignon Blanc blend is seafood, particularly shellfish like oysters and clams, due to its fresh, crisp flavors and ability to balance rich flavors. Chicken dishes, salads, and various forms of cream-based dishes also pair well with this blend.
