Tasting note

This sweet and fruity white displays a complex and intense nose. On the palate, its refreshing acidity and unctuous texture precede a long finish.

"The Château Rieussec 2014 is a blend of 93% Semillon, 5% Sauvignon Blanc and 2% Muscadelle, picked from 15 to 29 October through seven tries, the yield half the normal crop at 13 hectoliters per hectare. Charles Chevalier, how lest we forget started here and not chez Lafite, told me that the beginning of September had overripe grapes with passerillage – the second part had very good levels of botrytis. The blend is from these two parts. The bouquet is very well defined with crystal clear honeysuckle and white peach scents. The palate is beautifully balanced with nigh on perfect acidity that makes this seem just so…effortless. Best from 2020 through 2040." 95-97 pts, Wine Advocate Available for the Bordeaux Vintage 2014 Release at participating locations starting October 14, 2017. Quantities are limited.
