French cooking deserves French wine — Burgundy is the obvious pairing logic.

Sauternes's sweetness must match or exceed Chocolate Soufflé Cake With Orange Caramel Sauce's — and Sauternes delivers, with the acid to keep it from cloying.

Why it works with Chocolate Orange Souffle
Sancerre or Pouilly-Fumé mirror French herb-forward whites and goat-cheese dishes.
Fortified · Full · Sweet
Port from a single declared year, aged in bottle for decades. Dense, structured, ageless; the pinnacle of fortified wine.
