The 2010 Rieussec was missing a little intellect when I tasted it from barrel. Now in bottle it has become a contender for the finest Sauternes of the vintage. It is blessed with a pure and lifted bouquet with ripe peach, nectarine and honey, hints of shaved ginger poke their head above the surface with aeration. It is very subtle. The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannins, perfectly judged acidity and convincing harmony. This is a sophisticated Sauternes with superb mineralite and outstanding persistency. I will confess that I pinned this as “Yquem” and was both shocked and pleased when its identity was revealed. Go buy. Drink 2016-2035.

Deeper colour than other wines, typical of the chateau, and a very sweet, liqueury, rich nose and palate compared to some others this vintage. It's viscous, oily and powerful on the palate, with plenty of alcohol and lots of sweetness. A contrast in style to Doisy-Vedrines.
