Winemaker's Notes
This wine has a strong color and very floral vivid nose as well as light with the well-integrated woodiness. The palate is fresh, elegant and complex with a lively, slightly spicy finish including some notes of exotic fruit. This wine has excellent length. It is a blend of 95% S?Ÿ??millon, 3% Sauvignon blanc and 2% Muscadelle.
Critically Acclaimed
The 2010 Rieussec was missing a little intellect when I tasted it from barrel. Now in bottle it has become a contender for the finest Sauternes of the vintage. It is blessed with a pure and lifted bouquet with ripe peach, nectarine and honey, hints of shaved ginger poke their head above the surface with aeration. It is very subtle. The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannins, perfectly judged acidity and convincing harmony. This is a sophisticated Sauternes with superb mineralite and outstanding persistency. I will confess that I pinned this as "Yquem" and was both shocked and pleased when its identity was revealed. Go buy. Drink 2016-2035.
