Carmes de Rieussec (Bio Organic) 2024 375ml 12 Pack

Carmes de Rieussec, Second wine of the Château Rieussec Carmes de Rieussec is an accessible and generous wine. It assumes its singularities. IIt is tasty, sincere and spontaneous. Adventurous, it evolves according to the vintage. As a good Sauternes, it is a wine that can be kept for the future, but it can also, and perhaps most importantly, be drunk immediately. No need for special occasions. It is festive, playful. Since the 2021 vintage, the Carmes de Rieussec has been presented in a new, sleek and elongated bottle, a departure from the classic Bordeaux bottle shape. Crafted from post-consumer recycled (PcR) glass, the bottle is made of reclaimed and recycled household glass, featuring a new, less polluting color that embodies the ethos of Chateau Rieussec with its remarkable opacity. Finally, its refreshed identity, adorned with a crown – a symbol traditionally linked to Sauternes – is given a modern twist, crowning it the star of the celebration. The 2024 vintage The 2024 vintage was marked by a very rainy winter, with over 600 mm of rainfall and mild temperatures. The light frost in April had no major consequences. However, the persistent mildness and regular rainfall in April and May led to strong mildew pressure, particularly on the Sauvignon vines. After a rather hot and dry summer, ripening was slow. The harvest began in August. It was influenced by the rains of September, which made the decision difficult. A rare feat was that the harvest of the sweet wines started much earlier than expected, coinciding with some dry whites—a first at Rieussec, which put the winery teams into full excitement. Tasting notes The wine reveals a clear and radiant expression, driven by fresh citrus notes and white flower aromas. On the palate, it charms with its purity, supported by a delicate, perfectly integrated sweetness and a lively structure that brings definition and energy, shaping an airy profile where freshness and precision take precedence over power. Carmes de Rieussec 2024 embodies a taut, elegant and resolutely modern style, conceived for an accessible approach while preserving the identity of the terroir.
