Semillon from Sauternes, Bordeaux
The 2nd Wine of Château Rieussec, Carmes has to be the absolute bargain of all Sauternes at the Moment! I hoovered a bottle of this and was blown away. Vibrant, lovely layering of fruit, beautiful poise, excellent texture with great length. Fresh Apricot, spice, hints of patisserie creams. Luscious, delicious. The quality of the 2015 vintage sees it sitting at quality levels similar to the main wine in a standard year!Carmes de Rieussec’s name is a reference to the Carmelite monks in Lang
Semillon from Barsac, Bordeaux
Always one of my favourite sweet Bordeaux makers! I've always had a soft spot for Doisy-Daëne.

Semillon from Sauternes, Bordeaux
Rieussec along with Climens, de Fargues, Doisy-Daëne & of course d'Yquem is one of my favourite sweet whites from Bordeaux.

I had a half of 1996 early this year. Stunning!
Semillon Gris from Swartland, South Africa
The 2024 Kokerboom is a blend of Sémillon Blanc and Gris. Mellow on the nose, this is the most timid of Sadie's '24s at the moment, with very light wet wool and earthy aromas. The palate is very spicy on the entry, with a touch of ginger, linear and minimalist for Sémillon, with a bright, sapid, slightly fiery finish. Very fine.Neal Martin, Vinous 92 Points
