Carmes de Rieussec, Sauternes 2018
As the second wine of Château Rieussec, Carmes de Rieussec 2018 embodies the elegance of Sauternes with a harmonious balance of richness and freshness. Crafted from Sémillon (89%), Muscadelle (6%),... and Sauvignon Blanc (5%), this vintage benefits from noble rot, enhancing its depth and complexity. Aged for 12 months in barrels, it reveals aromas of apricot, candied melon, and subtle oak influence, leading to a silky palate with citrus and spice layers. The finish is long, honeyed, and well-defined, promising further development over the years.
Acclaimed by Lisa Perrotti-Brown (The Wine Advocate), who describes it as:
"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."
Perfectly paired with blue cheese, fruity desserts, or enjoyed on its own, this Sauternes is best served chilled at 8–10°C to showcase its refined complexity

Chateau Rieussec Premier Cru Classe, Sauternes 2017
A blend of 83% Semillon and 17% Sauvignon Blanc, the 2017 Rieussec is pale to medium lemon-gold colored. To begin, the nose blows you away with intense lemon tart, lime cordial, mango and quince... notes followed by a second wave of floral, orange blossoms and honeysuckle scents, and then notes of crushed rocks, crème caramel and marzipan join the party. Medium to full-bodied, the palate is still very tightly wound with concentrated sweetness and a racy backbone to match, delivering layer upon layer of citrus and savory flavors, finishing on a persistent mineral note.

Inspirational depth with botrytis spice, toffee, dried-apricot and sponge-cake character. Full-bodied, very sweet and lively with a long, endless finish. Lively acidity balances the wine. Tight and linear. Compact column of fruit and botrytis. Give it age. Better after 2026. 98 Points James Suckling
Incredibly stylish, full-bodied and loaded with burnt orange notes, this is an amazingly detailed wine and one of the finest vintages of Rieussec in recent years. 19+ points Mathew Jukes
