Tasting Note

The colour is a beautiful bright, pale yellow, with glints of green indicating the wine’s youth. The nose is already intense and reveals notes of tropical fruit such as mango and pineapple. There are still some well-integrated oaky notes from the barrel ageing. The attack is subtle and elegant with a beautiful liveliness that very much characterizes the vintage. Superb volume on the mid-palate. The wine remains balanced and consistent through to the finish, which reveals a very mild sweetness with lightly roasted notes evoking caramel.

Product Notes

The Chateau Rieussec Carmes de Rieussec is an evocative Sauternes that exudes class and sophistication. This French wine demonstrates an exquisite blend of rich, sun-ripened fruits and delicate spices. Its golden hue reflects its distinct grapes, and one can taste tantalising hints of honey, almond and apricots as they sip. Being semi-sweet, it finishes beautifully on the palate. This wine enjoys a full-bodied spectrum as it brings forth a well-balanced acidity that is neither too harsh nor too flat. A remarkable companion to gourmet desserts or a delectable cheese plate, it transforms each indulgence into an exquisite encounter.
