Château Rieussec 2005 is a distinguished Premier Cru Classé Sauternes wine, produced by an estate that has been under the ownership of Domaines Barons de Rothschild (Lafite) since 1984.
This vintage is composed of 90% Sémillon, 7% Sauvignon Blanc, and 3% Muscadelle, reflecting the estate`s typical blend.
The wine exudes fresh citrus aromas, notably mandarin peel, accompanied by subtle toasty nuances. On the palate, it offers a smooth, full-bodied texture, leading to a prolonged finish that reveals flavours of dried apricots, caramel, and bitter orange. This vintage exemplifies the elegance and complexity inherent in Château Rieussec`s esteemed legacy.

The 2005 Rieussec has a petrolly nose with quince, fig and Clementine scents that blossom in the glass. Good intensity. The palate is well balanced with a viscous opening and fine grip, very pure in style, with fig, dates and peach towards the harmonious finish. Lovely. Tasted at the 2005 Sauternes horizontal held at Château Coutet. Neal Martin17th June 2025
