Carmes de Rieussec 2009
(Sold by case only)
Item Code: FR4-1233B09B
Château Rieussec’s second wine is selected according to the same standards as the first wine. Its character consistently reveals a beautiful aromatic range dominated by citrus flavours. Carmes de Rieussec’s name is a reference to the Carmelite monks in Langon, who owned the Rieussec estate in the 18th century.
Wine Spectator 89: "A bright, juicy, mouthfilling style, with enticing apricot, toasted almond and fig flavors backed by a flash of candied orange peel on the finish. A little rambunctious in the end, but still solid. Drink now through 2017."
