Wine Spectator

James Molesworth

A rounded, slightly soft style, with an almond cream note draping over the marmalade, glazed peach and mango flavors. The almond cream element takes over on the broad finish. Drink now through 2026. 6,000 cases made.

James Suckling

The dry pineapple and pear character with hints of honey and cream is impressive. Medium body, medium acidity and a spicy, delicious finish. Drink or hold.

Vinous

Antonio Galloni

The 2014 Carmes de Rieussec is a very pretty wine that can be enjoyed now. Candied lemon peel, coconut, pear, chamomile and white flowers meld together nicely in the glass. The Carmes shows the brighter profile that is characteristic of this early-harvested second wine from Rieussec, but with the textural breadth that is typical of the year.

Wine Enthusiast

R.V.

This rich, impressive wine is full of ripe fruit and balanced acidity. It has intensity, sweetness and botrytis rich enough to lend a dry core. Drink from 2022.

Description

2014 Sauternes, Second vin du Chateau Rieussec, Bordeaux.

The 2014 Carmes de Rieussec is the Second vin du Chateau Rieussec and was selected on the same basis as the Grand Vin. This wine comes from the prestigious Sauternes appellation. The name Carmes de Rieussec is a reference to the monks of Carmes de Langon who were the proprietors of the estate in the 18ths century. This 2014 vintage blend is dominated by Semillon, followed by Sauvignon Blanc and Muscadelle.

The 2014 Carmes de Rieussec offers a relatively dense nose, composed of acacia honey and flower, enhanced by woody hints. The palate is ample, generous and well-balanced. The very sweet finish is typical of the wines from this Sauternes terroir.
