Lisa Perrotti-Brown MW, The Wine Advocate
Pale lemon colored, the 2016 Rieussec comes sashaying out of the glass with a beautiful floral and citrus perfume of orange blossom, pink grapefruit, yuzu, lime leaves, lemongrass and fallen leaves with hints of nutmeg and candied ginger. Having shed a lot of the puppy fat from when I last tasted this from barrel, the palate reveals loads of elegant, tightly wound layers and seamless freshness, finishing long and fragrant.
One of the great names of Sauternes. This property is owned by the Rothschilds of Château Lafite. It is made from around 90 to 95% Sémillon with a dash of Muscadelle and Sauvignon Blanc. Ageing is in 50% new oak barrels for between 18 to 26 months.
