The Les Carmes de Rieussec is a delightful second wine from the prestigious Château Rieussec, one of the top producers in the Sauternes region.
This sweet white blend, predominantly made from Sémillon, with contributions from Sauvignon Blanc and Muscadelle, is rich and full-bodied, with a luscious sweetness balanced by a refreshing acidity that prevents it from feeling too heavy. The flavours are dominated by ripe stone fruits and tropical fruits, complemented by layers of honey, marzipan, and a slight minerality. The finish is long and opulent, leaving a lingering impression of fruit and sweet spice.
Enjoy it with spicy Asian cuisine, crème brûlée, blue cheeses, and fruit-based desserts.

What the critics say:
"Pale golden yellow, silver reflections. Fine white tropical fruit, subtle honey notes, candied orange zest, yellow peaches. Medium complexity, a fruity-sweet core, a discreet acidity, white peaches, balanced, uncomplicated."
