Wine critics reviewsReviews by Parker and Suckling

Pale lemon-gold colored, the 2018 Carmes de Rieussec is a little youthfully mute to begin, offering glimpses at lemon meringue pie, lime cordial and beeswax scents with touches of baking bread and marzipan. The palate is appealingly rich and packed with citrus and spice layers, finishing long and honeyed.

— Lisa Perrotti-Brown (30/04/2019)Robert Parker Wine Advocate Vintage 2018 - 89-91 PARKER

A lovely second wine with cooked apples and peaches. Honey, too. Full-bodied, very sweet and bright.
