Chateau Rieussec has been a leading wine in Sauternes for several generations. Ranked as a Premier Grand Cru in 1855 it is made with a subtle blend of Semillon Sauvignon and Muscadelle. Vintage 2008 During the winter the frosts were very beneficial and restful for the vines. However these were followed by some spring frosts that were harmful for the young buds and unfavourably affected yields. The growth cycle was quite difficult because of a constant alternation between sun and rain. We had to wait until the beginning of September for stable weather conditions. TASTING NOTES (AT BOTTLING) Rich smooth and liqueur-like wine which finishes on light fruity notes. The aromas are still quiet reserved with subtle woody notes.- Chateau Rieussec *92-94/100 Wine Enthusiast
