Mittleres Gelb. Feine, komplexe Rasse zeigend, viel Aprikosen, frisch geschleuderter Honig, sanft blumige, fast parfümierte Noten darin zeigend, Orangenblüten. Im Gaumen reich und elegant zugleich, viel Fett im Extrakt, eine tolle, gebundene Süsse, ein Maximum an Komplexität. Der einzige Sauternes, der direkt an seinen eigenen 1990er erinnert. warten (2014 - 2060)
Producer
Château Rieussec
Under the same ownership as Lafite-Rothschild, the Château Rieussec vineyard is one of the largest properties in Sauternes and Barsac. The 93-hectare estate stretches from the border of Fargues and Sauternes, neighboring the vines of rival Château d’Yquem. Since 1984, Rieussec has belonged to Domaines Barons de Rothschild. They have made large investments in the cellar, as well as in the vineyards. This increase in quality-conscious procedures, including grape selection has led to smaller production numbers - here a single vine produces about a glass of wine. Fermentation is carried out in new-oak barriques, made by their very own cooper. The resulting wines are consistently powerful but classically structured, showing the opulence of Sauternes in an age-worthy Sémillon and Sauvignon Blanc blend. This First Growth estate is undoubtedly a reference-point for sweet wine producers around the world.
