- Description
2011 was a great year for Sauternes and this second wine of Rieussec shows great botrytis weight and richness as well as a floral and fruity character. Bitter orange marmalade and honey give this still-youthful wine its sweeter and fruitier side.
Deep, golden yellow colour. Superb brightness. The nose presents powerful aromatic expression. This is a characteristic of this very fine white Bordeaux vintage. The wine is fresh and pure, with notes of citrus fruit, tangerine and then candied melon.
The attack is elegant with a pleasant lightness, the wine then quickly gains substantial volume on the palate. Supported by a good level of acidity, it remains very fresh. The finish is harmonious, with no heaviness and just the right amount of sweetness.
Serve between 8 and 10°C
