Carmes de Rieussec is a blend of Sémillon, Sauvignon Blanc and Muscadelle, grapes which, influenced by botrytis (or "noble rot"), concentrate their sugars and acids, giving the wine that characteristic sweetness balanced by a fresh acidity. Production follows rigorous quality standards, with careful selection of the grapes and refinement that perfectly balances the intensity of the flavors with the structure of the wine.
Visually, the wine shows itself with a brilliant golden color. On the nose, it opens with an intense aroma of candied fruit, honey, dried apricot and floral notes, enriched by nuances of citrus and sweet spices that contribute to a complex aromatic bouquet. In the mouth, the natural sweetness is perfectly balanced by a lively acidity, resulting in a rich, layered palate with a persistent and refined finish.
The 375ml format of Carmes de Rieussec makes it particularly suitable for accompanying a wide range of dishes, from aperitif to dessert, including preparations based on foie gras, blue cheeses, or fruit-based desserts. It is also an excellent meditation wine, to be appreciated slowly to grasp all its nuances.
