Tasting Note

Probably the biggest and most concentrated Sauternes of 2016, without being the sweetest or most viscous - vitally. Huge amounts of dry extract, earth and woody spice notes of licquorice, vanilla and spice, mixed with apricot jam and truffle in the background

Product Notes

Chateau Rieussec 1er Cru Classé Sauternes wine is a superb, noble French wine, hailing from the prestigious Bordeaux region. Boasting a delicate, full-bodied character, this wine is steeped in sophistication, offering hints of apricot, honey, and saffron. Its celebrated semi-sweet, velvety texture tantalises the taste buds. Its intricate blend of Sauvignon Blanc and Sémillon varietals adds to the wine's depth and complexity. Ageing introduces distinct notes of butterscotch and caramel, enhancing its flavour profile. Revered for its impressive longevity, each sip unfolds a fresh layer of tasting notes. Perfect for special occasions, it's a treat for any wine connoisseur.
