Semillon is a type of grape. Semillon is used to make the sauternes wines, which are sweet wines, usually called "dessert wines" because they are good "companions" to a dessert.

Sweet wines in general are expensive so it really depends on how much you want to spend and it depends on what you really mean by sweet.
How would a wine maker produce a sweet wine. A dry wine?
Sweetness in wine is the result of sugar that is left unfermented. If the grapes have naturally high levels of sugar the wine will be sweet without any intervention because once the wine reaches a certain level of alcohol the yeasts that change the sugar into alcohol die. This point will vary with the chosen strain of yeast used. The process can also be stopped early to allow for a lighter, low alcohol sweet wine. Chilling the wine down will stop the fermentation, leaving the grape's natural sugar behind. Filtering can remove the yeasts themselves, bring fermentation to an end immediately. Sweet wines are frequently low in alcohol, unless they are "fortified" by a spirit (i.e port). Fortification is another way to prematurally haul fermentation because yeasts are intolerant of high levels of alcohol.

Is 6 percent alcohol in a bottle of wine a low percentage?
Yes, depending on the context. Most table wines (drinking wines) range between 9-14% in concentration per volume, however cooking wines such as a sherry tend to be lower concentrations, for example 6-10%. There are also 'non-alcoholic' wines, where the percentage is low enough to be negligible, e.g. 0.1%, for those who enjoy the flavor, but not the inebriation! I hope this answers your question.
