Chateau Rieussec Les Carmes de Rieussec 2016

Les Carmes de Rieussec is the elegant second wine of Château Rieussec, offering aromas of apricot, ripe peach, pineapple, candied citrus, honey, white flowers, vanilla, and saffron. Lusciously sweet yet beautifully balanced, it delivers vibrant acidity, refined freshness, silky texture, and a long, harmonious finish.

Food Pairing: Pair with foie gras, blue cheese, fruit tarts, crème brûlée, apricot desserts, roasted peaches, fresh berries, or enjoy lightly chilled on its own.

Sweet honey, lemon rind and cooked pineapple. Medium sweet, medium-bodied and an easy finish with toffee and caramel undertones to the cooked fruit. Second wine of Rieussec. Drink in 2021.

91 Points - Wine Enthusiast 

Packed with ripe, honeyed Sémillon, this wine has richness while also keeping plenty of freshness. Acidity and a crisp edge are balanced with the intense orange marmalade and spice flavors that will make this wine develop well. Drink from 2022.
