OMG. This is amazing. This is the new 2001. Incredible purity of botrytis and ripeness. Full-on. So driven and precise. Full-bodied, very sweet and electrified. Pineapple jam and mangoes — endless tropical fruits. This ends very clean and is almost tannic on the finish. A truly great Sauternes. Energy. Drink or hold.

Mitteldunkles Gelb, somit recht intensiv, leuchtender Rand. Intensives Bouquet, Kamille, Honig, kalter Aprikosengelée und einen Hauch von reifen Quitten zeigend, alles vermischt mit einer deutlichen Botrytisnote. Dicklicher, fast öliger Fluss, zeigt einen grossen Reichtum, die Säure hat noch etwas Mühe, diese Opulenz auszugleichen, fast Finale wirkt dann fast etwas übersüss, also fehlt (noch?) die Balance. Potentialwertung: 18/20 2025 – 2048

The 2015 Rieussec has a fragrant and quite floral bouquet, scents of yellow flower and earthy aromas filtering through the honeyed fruit. The palate is well balanced with a tang of marmalade and quince on the entry. This is pure and creamy in texture with shades of coconut and crème brûlée toward the punter, friendly finish. Lovely. Tasted blind at the Southwold 2015 Bordeaux tasting.

Intense, with warm peach cobbler, toasted coconut, orange curd and apricot aromas and flavors. Honeyed feel through the finish, but with a racy streak of bitter almond too. Drink now through 2040. 6,000 cases made. — JM

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.
