Carmes De Rieussec 2019...
TYPOLOGY: Sauternes AOC ' Carmes De Rieussec '.<br /><br />PRODUCTION AREA: Sauternes<br /><br />VINE: 94% Sémillon, 3% Sauvignon Blanc, 3% Muscadelle<br /><br />SOIL TYPE: clayey-calcareous soil alternating with alluvial pebbles called Grave.<br /><br />VINIFICATION: after the harvest, the grapes arrived in the cellar were immediately pressed by parcel. The must from each parcel was then put into separate barriques after<br />skimming to carry out fermentation.<br /><br />COLOUR: pale gold.<br /><br />BOUQUET: The nose is a triumph of candid fruit and acacia flowers almost reminiscent of sweet fruits roasted in the sun.<br /><br />PAIRINGS: it is soon paired with dry pastries, but also with blue cheeses, to the traditional local pairing with 'pate du foie gras'. It also lends itself to being a great<br />meditation wine.<br /><br />TASTE: Generous and balanced on the palate. Pleasantly sweet finish with a long persistence.<br /><br />AGING: refined in barriques, 50% new, for a period varying between 16 and 26 months.<br />
