Clear light straw, medium bodied, grapefruit and white peach aromas, bright acidity with citrus, grass and mineral flavors, soft and long finish. Very nice white Bordeaux. $17 — 8 years ago
60% Semillon, 22% Sauvignon Blanc, 18% Muscadelle. Yellow in color. Floral and grass notes in nose. Rich, grass and lemon notes in mouth, lactic and citric finish, with some apricot, lemon, minerality and skin astringency in aftertaste. Stays crisp, not at all flabby, rounded mouthfeel but seems less alcoholic than percentage listed. Somewhat more complex and fruity than most WA state Semillons and Sauvignon blancs I've tasted. Worthy pour. — 9 years ago
As I sit at my desk writing about an entirely different wine, this seductress is unfurling before me, and I can fully appreciate its aromatic charms from a distance of several inches. Dried apricot, yellow peaches, star anise, clove, and creme brûlée round out the nose of this opulent Sauternes. On the palate, it's unctuous and yet finely corseted in vibrant acidity and minerality. Every bit as good as the 1986 I tasted recently. Like Sleeping Beauty, all it requires is time. Of note, Château Rieussec is a blend of 90 to 95% Sémillon, 5 to 10% Muscadelle and Sauvignon blanc and is aged for 18 to 26 months on oak, of which around 50% is new French oak. 14.0% ABV

16.5/20 (89/100) Свежее и ароматное вино - дыня, мёд, крыжовник, цветы, спелое яблоко, белая смородина. Свежая кислотность и яркий, насыщенный вкус. Отлично! — 8 years ago

This wine really hits the mark for me. Great minerality with not so subtle hints of pineapple and tropical fruits. Super smooth finish. — 11 years ago
2011 vintage. Slightly oxidative nose full of honeydew melon and green pear. Slightly creamy on the palate with big, juicy acidity. Crisp green apple and pear flavors leads to hints of bitter herbs and a long, bright, slightly waxy finish. — 11 years ago

Notes of honey, over ripe peach, and bruised red apple... An amazing (cheaper) alternative to Sauternes. — 13 years ago
