A Luscious Dessert Wine

Description

From Château Rieussec, which is owned by the prestigious Château Lafite-Rothschild, this Sauvignon Blanc and Semillon blend is a luscious dessert wine. Sauternes is a sweet style of wine made with grapes affected by Botrytis cinerea (also known as noble rot) which results in a concentration of sugars and flavours. The grapes for this wine are hand-picked before a long fermentation process and 18 months aging in oak, giving beautiful results.

Tasting Note

The result is, this luscious dessert wine with a candied fruit, honey and saffron palate balanced by a refreshing acidity.

Product Reviews

In The Press

Irish Examiner

Rieussec is a Premier Grand Cru Classé Sauternes, with vines on the hill beside those of Chateau d’Yquem. This is the second wine, honey tinged lemon-lime fruits, apricot and yellow peaches with a hint of wax. A gorgeous texture, candied lemon and a brisk citrusy dry finish to clean the palate. Try with some mature Cashel Blue or Lost Valley ‘Tomme’, guaranteed to linger in your memory.
