Sommelier's Note

Carmes de Rieussec 2021 represents the second label of the illustrious Chateau Rieussec, embodying the peerless elegance of the Sauternes appellation with refined grace. On the nose, this nectar unfolds with a luminous bouquet of apricot preserve, acacia honey, and subtle hints of candied citrus peel, underscored by a delicate touch of white floral perfume. The palate is defined by a brilliant interplay between opulent sweetness and a vibrant, crystalline acidity that keeps the profile impeccably balanced and focused. This vintage showcases a sophisticated structure that is both accessible and deeply evocative of its prestigious terroir in Bordeaux. Each glass offers a silky, lingering finish that whispers of refined craftsmanship and the golden sunlight of the Sauternes hills. It is an exceptional choice for those seeking a nuanced dessert wine that balances richness with a sophisticated lightness of touch.
