Rieussec Half 2001

The 2001 Château Rieussec is predominantly made from Sémillon, with Sauvignon Blanc and a small percentage of Muscadelle completing the blend. The wine is renowned for its powerful aromas and flavours of ripe tropical fruits, honey, apricot, and marmalade, supported by great acidity that balances out the sweetness and prevents the wine from being cloying. As the wine ages, it develops complex tertiary notes of spice, nuts, and caramel. Given the high quality of the 2001 vintage, this Château Rieussec has remarkable aging potential and can continue to evolve and develop in the bottle for several more years.
