Rieussec 2007 is a full-bodied, botrytised sweet wine from the Sauternes appellation of Bordeaux. Château Rieussec was granted Premier Cru Classé status in Bordeaux`s 1855 classification and has long been considered one of the greatest sweet wines in Sauternes. The 2007 vintage is a blend 87% Semillon, 8.5% Sauvignon Blanc and 4.5% Muscadelle. "The Rieussac 2007 ... has an almost Barsac-like bouquet with barley sugar joining the ginger and honeyed notes, quite powerful although I feel this is just going through a sullen patch at the moment. The palate is very pure and balanced with a wonderful seam of acidity that slices through the viscous botrytis fruit, quite spicy on the finish." Wine Advocate, 2017

The 2007 Rieussec is a blend of 87% Semillon, 4.5% Muscadelle and 8.5% Sauvignon Blanc picked between 13 September and 31 October. It has an almost Barsac-like bouquet with barley sugar joining the ginger and honeyed notes, quite powerful although I feel this is just going through a sullen patch at the moment. The palate is very pure and balanced with a wonderful seam of acidity that slices through the viscous botrytis fruit, quite spicy on the finish, although it does not possess the persistence of the 2005 or 2009, just cutting away swiftly.

Bright, pale yellow-gold. Aromas of very ripe peach, honey and vanilla are a bit youthfully disjointed. Sweet, supple and fat, currently showing more spice than fruit. Finishes broad and spicy, with a suggestion of minerality.Stephen Tanzer1st July 2008
