2023er Château Rieussec, AC Sauternes 1er Grand Cru Classée

Edelsüßer Hochgenuss aus Sauternes: Der 2023er Château Rieussec begeistert mit intensiven Aromen von reifer Aprikose, Honig, kandierten Früchten und feiner Vanille. Am Gaumen opulent und zugleich elegant, mit lebendiger Frische und langem, harmonischem Finale – ein großer Sauternes 1er Grand Cru Classé für besondere Momente.

Robert Parker gibt sensationelle 98+/100 Punkten und schreibt: " A real success, the 2023 Rieussec wafts from the glass with aromas of pineapple, exotic fruits and spices, complemented by nuances of white truffle and mango. Medium- to full-bodied, dense and concentrated, it is deep and layered, built around a fleshy core of fruit and a precise, almost crystalline mid-palate, enhanced by beautifully judged gastronomic bitterness. Long and ethereal, the blend comprises 90% Sémillon and 10% Sauvignon Blanc."

James Suckling ist ebenfalls begeistert, gibt 98/100 Punkten und schreibt: " An extremely serious wine, yet already very approachable. Cream, pineapple, honeyed apricots, mangoes, wax and a hint of white mushrooms on the nose. Impeccable balance between fruit and botrytis complexity. Luscious yet supple, with a round, full body and an extremely long finish. Subtle cream comes up at the end. Newly designed bottle. Already delicious, but can hold for decades."
