Wine Spectator

James Molesworth

A ripe, flattering style, delivering lots of up-front apricot, hazelnut and candied orange peel notes, backed by a broad, honeyed finish. Drink now through 2016. 5,350 cases made.

Description

2008 Sauternes, Second Wine from Chateau Rieussec, Bordeaux.

Les Carmes de Rieussec, Second wine from Château Rieussec, is produced from young vines of the estate. This 2008 Sauternes is 85% Sémillon and 15% Sauvignon Blanc.

The wine gives off candied apricot, citrusy and white peach aromas enhanced by a light honey hint on the nose finish. The 2008 Les Carmes de Rieussec offers an unctuous, quite ample and balanced palate, which finishes on a vibrant note.
