Château Rieussec is consistently one of Sauternes' greatest sweet wines after Yquem. 89% Sémillon, 8% Sauvignon Blanc, 3% Muscadelle from the great 2009, this carries layers of luscious, tropical fruits.
"The 2009 Rieussec has long been a favourite of mine. It is a little deeper in colour than its peers. This is rich and powerful with clear honey, acacia, orange blossom and quince aromas, just a hint of crème caramel in the background. The palate is very well balanced with another superb line of acidity. Very pure and focused with captivating tension on the finish, the tongue tingling with Szechuan peppers on the aftertaste. Wonderful." Drink 2020 - 2060. 97/100 Neal Martin
