Tasting Notes
The 2010 Rieussec 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 tannis, 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 96/100 wine Advocate. Drink 2016-2035
Pairs well with
Blue cheese
