Carmes de Rieussec Sauternes 0.375L

Carmes de Rieussec is the second wine of Château Rieussec – one of the most prestigious Premier Cru Classé Sauternes estates, which has been part of Domaines Barons de Rothschild since 1984. The half-bottle (0.375 l) is ideal for two glasses as an aperitif or to conclude a dinner, without having to open a whole bottle.

On the nose, it displays tropical fruit and fresh citrus notes, reminiscent of botrytis-affected Sémillon from the Sauternais. On the palate, it is pure and velvety, with honeyed tones and a lively, yet not heavy, finish. For a Sauternes, the balance is decidedly on freshness rather than opulence – enjoyable young, without requiring extensive cellaring.

Serving temperature: 8–10 °C. Pairs well with Roquefort cheese, foie gras terrine, fresh peaches or almond pastries.

The Domaine

Castel Châteaux & Grands Crus

It would have been easier to rest on safe values. But the Castell family thinks further ahead. They preserve the know-how, pass the passion on to the next generation, and maintain their châteaus and domains – with joy and foresight.

For them, wine is more than a product: It is about culture. About sharing knowledge, about exchange with chefs, sommeliers, and everyone who loves taste. Producing country wines and Grands Crus is one thing. The other: not keeping anything to themselves.

Sustainable, responsible, and with heart. Because at Castel Châteaux & Grands Crus, they live by the conviction that wine must follow its ideas. Persistent, courageous, and with a flame that carries on – from generation to generation.
