The Pour

Carmes de Rieussec Sauternes
Crisp white🇫🇷 Sauternes, Bordeaux, France · Sémillon-Sauvignon Blanc blend

Honeyed and lavish with a bright streak of acidity, it tastes of beautiful excess. A fitting dessert pour for an era that glittered right up until it broke.

The Mood

Thatcher-era London glitters with parties, money and desire while an outsider watches from inside the glow. Elegant and elegiac.
