Type: A.O.C. Sauternes
Makers: Château Rieussec
Origin: France, France
Ratings: RP/WA 93/100
Vintage: 2007
Bottle: 750ml.
This has a very primal nose, the oak exposed at the moment although there is obviously a great deal of fruit concentration underneath. The palate is well balanced, a little oaky on the entry, dried honey, lemon curd, apricot and orange peel towards the linear finish. Tightly coiled Sauternes, quite modern in style, this should develop over 8-10 years in the bottle before really opening up and one hopes, evolve a little more “personality”. Drink 2011-2025.
