Owned by Domaines Barons de Rothschild (Lafite), Rieussec is one of Sauternes finest premier cru classé estates, known for producing some of the richest and most exotic sweet wines. The 2008 Rieussec, a vintage known for balance and expressive ripeness, is a blend of 86% Semillon, 12% Sauvignon Blanc and 2% Muscadelle. The nose exudes subtle but ethereal fruit scents, light hints of wood, flowers, peach, apricot and dried fruit, whilst the palate offers a honey coated attack combined with crème brûlée, orange peel, marmalade and quince.
Serve with the finest blue cheeses, or a rhubarb pie.
