Second wine of Château Rieussec, Grand Cru Classé 1855, Carmes de Rieussec is a blend of Semillon, Sauvignon and Muscadelle grapes. Planted on gravel-covered silty soil, the vines are meticulously hand-harvested in several selections to make the most of the botrytized grapes. After 18 months' ageing in oak barrels, this elegant sweet white wine with golden hues, produced in AOP Sauternes, reveals subtle aromas of gourmet pineapple on the nose. Citrus fruit dominates: enjoy as an aperitif, with foie gras or with goat's or blue cheeses.
Appearance
A beautiful golden yellow color.
Aroma
Floral nose of acacia, fresh pear and candied apricot.
Wine Floral | Soft | Spicy
Taste
Young sweet whites are delicious, slightly jammy but still full of acidity. With age, they evolve towards more concentrated aromas, such as the bitterness of candied orange, hints of salted butter caramel and aromas of vanilla.
