Resplendy Muscat de Saint Jean De Minervois........ from Narbonne, in the south of France.
The name of this wine makes it sound very sophisticated and expensive.....however, I found it for under $10 at Total Wines (5 locations in California) and was nicely surprised. This wine is deep yellow-gold in color with sweet notes of honey, almond and caramel. I had been searching for a dessert wine that feels like dessert - one that is truly sweet and satisfying. This particular wine delivered with its rich and full-bodied flavor.
This wine is too sweet to be served with very rich desserts. Instead, pair it with bittersweet desserts, fresh berries, dessert cheeses or a fresh fruit tart.
I tried this wine and loved it too! The honey really comes through with a hint of the caramel. This is one that will always be in stock at our house!
