What to Expect

The great sweet wines of Bordeaux, Sauternes, are among the most decadent, complex and simply enjoyable wines. Based on a blend of Semillon and Sauvignon Blanc that has been infected with the "noble rot", Botrytis Cinerea, Sauternes are rich, honied wines bursting with notes of vanilla, coconut, dried apricots and subtle spice tones. They are usually very sweet and rich with a soft quality to them that makes them appealing in their youth yet they can age and improve for decades. The neighboring village of Barsac frequently makes wines comparable to those of Sauternes.

Morrell &

Chateau Carmes de Rieussec - Sauternes FUTURES Not surprisingly, Carmes de Rieussec is the second wine of Chateau Rieussec. Owned by Chateau Lafite since the late 198os, Rieussec produces one of the richest, most gorgeously aromatic dessert wine on planet earth. The 2005 Carmes exhibits a lovely nose, orange blossom and tropical fruits. The palate showed candied oranges, a syrupy sweetness matched with mandarin, lime marmalade and green tints. Most appealing.
