Punteggi dei critici
100 Wine Spectator
Like lemon curd on the nose, turning to honey and caramel. Full-bodied and very sweet, with fantastic concentration of ripe and botrytized fruit, yet balanced and refined. Electric acidity. Lasts for minutes on the palate. This is absolutely mind-blowing. This is the greatest young Sauternes I have ever tasted. Best after 2010. 12,500 cases made. –JS

This is a crazy wine! It’s sweet, but not sugary. Mushrooms, furniture wax, spices then dried oranges, lemons, pineapples, and just a hint of vanilla. Full-bodied, with great density and power, yet balanced and refined. So amazing, but give this five to six years still. Pull the cork in 2016.

A monumental effort, the 2001 Rieussec boasts a light to medium gold color in addition to a fabulous perfume of honeysuckle, smoky oak, caramelized tropical fruits, creme brulee, and Grand Marnier. The wine is massive and full-bodied yet neither over the top nor heavy because of good acidity. With intense botrytis as well as a 70-75-second finish, this amazing Sauternes will be its apogee between 2010-2035.

02: Fassprobe: Intensives, dichtes Gelb. Reiches, vielschichtiges Bouquet mit pfeffriger Botrytis, Mirabellen, Aprikosen und Dörrfrüchten. Im Gaumen dicker Körper zeigend, der aber durch die lebendige Säure gut ausbalanciert wird, gekochte Pfirsiche und eine schöne Vanillenote von der gut eingepassten Barrique, bewegendes Sauternes-Erlebnis mit dramatischer Länge. Gehört klar zu den Leadern. 06: Im Louis C. Jacob in Hamburg als süsses Finale eine Montags-Wein-Lunch. Viel Rosinentöne, die Botrytis ist sehr kompakt. Im Gaumen momenten etwas zu süss, weil verschlossen. Etwa 5 Jahre warten lohnt sich, obwohl sich der Wein auch jetzt schon unverschämt locker trinkt. trinken ( - 2060)

Produttore
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.
