Carmes de Rieussec is deep, golden yellow color. Superb brightness. The nose presents a powerful aromatic expression. This is a characteristic of this very fine white Bordeaux vintage. The wine is fresh and pure, with notes of zesty citrus fruit, tangerine and then sweet melon. The front is elegant with a delightful lightness, the wine then quickly gains substantial volume on the palate. Supported by a good level of acidity, the wine remains very fresh and bright. The finish is harmonious, with no heaviness and just the right amount of sweetness.
