Crème brûlée
Crème brûlée's rich custard base with caramelized sugar crust benefits from wines with balanced sweetness and acidity to complement without overwhelming. The dessert's creamy texture and vanilla notes pair beautifully with dessert wines that offer similar richness while providing contrasting fruit characteristics.
