2018 Carmes de Rieussec, Sauternes (6 x Bottle)

France Bordeaux Sauternes

Quite fresh to start with, the palate develops rich flavours of apricot, candied melon and orange peel. The finish is well defined and has a freshness not always associated with the vintage.

Robert Parker Wine Advocate

Pale lemon-gold colored, the 2018 Carmes de Rieussec is a little youthfully mute to begin, offering glimpses at lemon meringue pie, lime cordial and beeswax scents with touches of baking bread and marzipan. The palate is appealingly rich and packed with citrus and spice layers, finishing long and honeyed.
