2021: The nose is subtle, with an initial minerality, with notes of hot stone and dry grass after the storm. This is followed by fruity notes of fresh apricot and some white flowers. On the nose and palate, we are guided by a Sauvignon aroma (39% Sauvignon Blanc in the blend) with a light lemony feel and plenty of freshness on the palate. The confit is discreet, the wood very well integrated, giving life to a chiselled wine to which we want to return.
Wine Advocate 90: The 2023 Carmes de Rieussec has turned out very well, revealing aromas of white flowers, grapefruit, pineapple and orchard fruits. Medium- to full-bodied, elegant and subtly minty, it is juicy and seamless, offering good depth at the core and concluding with a perfumed, ethereal finish.
