CH RIEUSSEC VIN BLANC SEC DE RIEUSSEC 2021

Château Rieussec has a rich history, starting with ownership by Carmelite monks in the 18th century. It was classified as a first growth Sauternes in 1855 and has since passed through many hands. In 1984, Domaines Barons de Rothschild acquired the estate and implemented significant quality improvements, leading to a string of highly regarded vintages. Beautiful pale yellow color with glints of green. The nose presents tremendous aromatic intensity. Exotic fruit predominates over the citrus notes. The oak from the barrel-ageing is well integrated. The palate presents superb freshness. The wine has lots of volume but remains lively thanks to its acidity. Fresh pear and notes of white flowers. Overall, the palate is characterized by length, balance and harmony, and a long aftertaste.
