“R” de Rieussec is a dry white produced on the Château Rieussec estate, a Sauternes Premier Cru Classé. Its refined style is enhanced by the very well-integrated wood that brings a pleasant complexity. It is partly produced from the same vines as the Sauternes.

Decanter 92: Sharp and tangy, bright, energetic and so lively in the mouth. Keeps a sense of calm and seriousness, the brightness softens quite quickly with more of a cool, creamy, salty touch at the end and some flinty minerality on the finish. I love the initial brightness and intensity of apple, lemon, peach and apricot fruit before it narrows into a long finish.
