What wine goes well with fruit desserts?

Les Grappes has selected 4 wines for you to enjoy with fruit desserts:

Natural sweet wines and dessert wines to the rescue

• Wine #1: Sauternes. The trick is to get a half-bottle if there aren’t many of you, since one glass should be enough.
• Wine No. 2: Gewürztraminer Vendanges Tardives—often overlooked but delicious.
• Wine No. 3: Coteaux-du-Layon, a very interesting dark horse in the sweet wine category.
• Wine No. 4: Rosé champagne—that’ll really impress the family.
