Carmes de Rieussec 2013 Sauternes (75cl)

Carmes de Rieussec 2013 is the second wine of Château Rieussec in Sauternes. Sauternes is made from grapes affected by noble rot, which concentrates the sugar and gives the wine its honeyed character. Sweet wine goes further than dessert, pairing with foie gras, blue cheese or a slightly spicy dish. A half glass each is usually enough, so one bottle covers a whole dinner table. Serve well chilled, around 8-10°C, in a small glass. Bottle age usually brings a deeper amber colour and dried-fruit character.
