Carmes de Rieussec 2011
(Sold by case only)
Item Code: FR4-1233B11B
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 90: "Bold, with ginger, creamed peach, warm piecrust, quince and creamed pear notes all bolted together and wrapped with a flattering, warm tarte Tatin hint. Delivers more oomph than cut. For fans of the broader, fuller style. Drink now through 2021."
