Carmes de Rieussec 2012 Carmes de Rieussec 2012 is an absolutely exceptional and prestigious dessert wine from the legendary Sauternes appellation in the Bordeaux region – one of the most celebrated and coveted wine appellations in the world. Château Rieussec, to which Carmes de Rieussec belongs, holds Premier Cru Classé status – the highest classification for wines in Sauternes, reserved exclusively for the most distinguished châteaux of the region. Carmes de Rieussec is the so-called second wine of Château Rieussec, produced from carefully selected grapes that do not enter the main cuvée – in this case from Sémillon grapes affected by noble rot Botrytis cinerea, responsible for the extraordinary concentration, sweetness, and aroma of Sauternes wines. The 2012 vintage is one of the more successful years in Sauternes, combining elegance with excellent fruit concentration. Carmes de Rieussec 2012 captivates with a deep golden, amber colour and an extraordinary multi-layered bouquet: ripe and candied apricots, peach, mango, and pineapple, acacia blossom, vanilla, linden honey, saffron, delicate botrytis notes, and subtle creamy-almond depth. The palate is full, luxuriously sweet, and silky – with perfect natural acidity that provides freshness and an endlessly long, lingering finish. Carmes de Rieussec 2012 in a premium sweet and savoury basket with gourmet delicatessen and artisan chocolate represents the pinnacle of luxury among Bordeaux wine gift sets – a gift that will remain in memory for years to come.

The most prestigious luxury sweet and savoury basket with Sauternes wine – for those who seek the absolute summit of luxury.
