Château Rieussec was acquired by Domaines Barons de Rothschild (Lafite) in 1984. The estate then consisted of 110 hectares, 68 hectares of which were vines. To enhance Château Rieussec’s potential, rigorous measures were implemented, including meticulous sorting of the grapes and fermenting in barrels, which provides a much finer selection for the blending of the Grand Vin.

Château Rieussec Carmes de Rieussec is a sweet white wine from the Sauternes region of Bordeaux, France. The wine is made from a blend of Semillon, Sauvignon Blanc, and Muscadelle grapes, and is aged in oak barrels for 16 to 18 months.

The 2020 vintage of Carmes de Rieussec offers a vibrant golden colour with green highlights. On the nose, it reveals intense aromas of ripe apricot, pineapple, and passion fruit, with subtle hints of honey and vanilla. The palate is rich and complex, with a perfect balance of sweetness and acidity, delivering flavours of candied fruit, citrus, and spices. The finish is long and persistent, leaving a pleasant impression of freshness.

This wine is a great match for desserts such as fruit tarts, crème brûlée, or blue cheese, but also pairs well with foie gras or spicy Asian cuisine
