Carmes De Rieussec, Sauternes 2007 (1x75cl)

Carmes de Rieussec is the second wine of Château Rieussec, made in the same Sauternes style but meant for drinking sooner. This is a full 75cl bottle of the 2007 vintage.

Sauternes from this part of Bordeaux usually develops honeyed, dried-apricot notes with age, which makes an older vintage like this a thoughtful gift for someone who enjoys dessert wine.

Tasting notes

Expect a deep gold colour and flavours that typically run toward honey, dried apricot and orange marmalade, with the acidity that keeps Sauternes from tasting cloying.
