Description
Carmes de Rieussec 2018 is a sweet white from Sauternes in Bordeaux, the second wine of Château Rieussec. Sémillon leads the usual Sauternes blend, with Sauvignon Blanc and Muscadelle adding freshness and aroma. Sauternes gets its sweetness from grapes concentrated by noble rot.
Blue cheese, foie gras, apricot tart or roast chicken with a fruit sauce work with it, and it holds up on its own after dinner. Chill to about 46 to 50°F and pour small glasses.
