Château Rieussec, Premier Cru Classé in 1855, has long been considered one of the greatest sweet wines in Sauternes. The 2009 vintage saw a blend of 84% Sémillon, 12% Sauvignon Blanc and 4% Muscadelle. Citrus and fresh fruit notes are complemented by candied apricot and fresh almond. On the palate, great length combined with the freshness and liveliness of the fruit. Dominant notes of honey and acacia flowers.

The 2009 Rieussec has long been a favourite of mine. It is a little deeper in colour than its peers. This is rich and powerful with clear honey, acacia, orange blossom and quince aromas, just a hint of crème caramel in the background. The palate is very well balanced with another superb line of acidity. Very pure and focused with captivating tension on the finish, the tongue tingling with Szechuan peppers on the aftertaste. Wonderful. Tasted blind at Farr Vintners’ 2009 Bordeaux tasting. Neal Martin1st March 2019
