Château Rieussec 1er Cru Classé de Sauternes (2016) 375mL

1er Cru Classé de Sauternes, Bordeaux, France

Varietal(s): Sauvignon Blanc, Sémillon

So much botrytis on the nose with spice, dried mushrooms and nutmeg. Dried lemons and mangoes. Full-bodied and medium sweet with density and, at the same time, lightness. I like that it is full of botrytis on the palate at the beginning and then turns fruity and very pretty at the end with citrus and fruit. Balanced, creamy and rich.

97pts. James Suckling & Wine Enthusiast
