Hi Zekwine and welcome to the board. Sauternes are one of the great wines of France. Made with white grapes picked after they have been attacked by a mold that cracks the grapes skin, allows the water to evaporate, and leaves the concentrated juice with its' sugar concentrated. A very laborous and expensive process that thusly makes the resultant nectar VERY expensive. This is a capsulated explanation. As far as the other wine you asked about, I've never heard of it. WW
