96 Wine Spectator
A very ripe, juicy, spicy style, with bold apricot, tangerine, toasted almond and papaya notes. Shows lots of power, with the length to match. A winner in the making.—J.M.

Tasted blind at the Sauternes 2011 horizontal tasting. The Château Rieussec 2011 transcends its somewhat “middling” performance from barrel and delivers a knockout wine in bottle. For sure, it demonstrates a lot of vanilla from the new oak on the nose, complemented by almond, French patisserie and touches of white peach. The élevage is more expressive than the terroir at the moment, although there is clearly a lot of fruit underneath. The palate is very well balanced, with thickly textured honeyed fruits that lacquer the inside of the mouth and stay there. This is extremely well balanced but very young and primal, yet the crescendo of flavors is very impressive. Tasted blind, I hazarded a guess that this might be Yquem ’11. Enough said.

Mittleres Gelb, lindengrüne Nuancen darin, leuchtend. Reifes Traubenbouquet, viel Kamille, Mirabellen und Orangenblüten, das ist auch etwas Pfeffriges drin. Im Gaumen sehr fruchtig bei recht üppig daherkommender Süsse, pikante Extraktnote mit viel Mineralität, die nasale Süsse ist hier nicht mehr so dominant und somit bleibt das Finale sehr elegant. warten (2015 - 2045)

Château Rieussec
Degli stessi proprietari di Lafite-Rothschild, Château Rieussec è una delle più grandi proprietà di Sauternes e Barsac. La tenuta di 93 ettari si estende dal confine di Fargues e Sauternes, vicino alle viti del rivale Château d'Yquem. Dal 1984, Rieussec appartiene ai Domaines Barons de Rothschild, che hanno fatto grandi investimenti in cantina e nei vigneti. Questo incremento delle procedure legate alla qualità, compresa la selezione delle uve, ha portato a numeri più piccoli in termini di produzione: qui una singola vite produce circa un bicchiere di vino. La fermentazione avviene in barriques di rovere nuove, realizzate dal proprio bottaio. I vini ottenuti sono potenti ma dalla struttura classica e mostrano l'opulenza di Sauternes in un assemblaggio longevo di Sémillon e Sauvignon Blanc. Questa tenuta Premier Cru è indubbiamente un punto di riferimento per i produttori di vini dolci in tutto il mondo.
