Carmes de Rieussec is the highly regarded second wine of Château Rieussec, a Premier Cru Classé in Sauternes owned by the Lafite Rothschild group. The 2015 vintage is a spectacular year for Bordeaux sweet wines, featuring perfect botrytis development. It pours a brilliant gold and bursts with opulent aromas of acacia honey, dried apricot, passion fruit, and white blossoms. On the palate, it is unctuous and lusciously sweet, yet beautifully balanced by a streak of crisp, vibrant acidity that prevents any cloying sensation. A high-value, highly refreshing dessert wine.
