Château Rieussec has been a leading wine in Sauternes for several generations. Ranked as a Premier Grand Cru in 1855, it is made with a subtle blend of Sémillon, Sauvignon and Muscadelle.

84% Sémillon 12% Sauvignon Blanc 4% Muscadelle

A long period of ageing in oak barrels was needed to round off this very powerful wine. Citrus and fresh fruit aromas combine with candied apricot and green almonds on the nose.
Great length on the palate matched with lively, fresh fruit, and a strong impression of honey and acacia blossom.

"Pale to medium gold colored, the 2009 Rieussec sings of crème caramel, chopped nuts, baked apples and spiced pears with hints of jasmine, peach blossoms and beeswax. Full-bodied, rich and decadently creamy in the mouth, the multilayered palate is beautifully lifted with fantastic freshness. It has a very long finish offering a lasting impression of great elegance and finesse. Simply stunning. Drink 2019 - 2050."
98 Points.

"Tasted blind. Very deep orangey gold. Green edge on golden-syrup aromas. Very big, very round, very confident and concentrated. Is this the Yquem? Lots of interest and detail here. Drink 2020 - 2055."
