Tasting Notes

The 2001 Chateau Rieussec from Sauternes, Bordeaux, France is a stunning example of a Sauternes wine. The deep, golden color immediately catches the eye, hinting at the richness and complexity within. On the nose, aromas of ripe apricot, honey, and candied orange peel mingle with subtle hints of vanilla and toasted almonds. The palate is equally impressive, with a luscious and velvety mouthfeel balanced by bright acidity. Flavors of dried apricot, honeycomb, and marmalade dance on the tongue, while a touch of oak adds depth and structure. The finish is long and lingering, leaving a pleasant sweetness on the palate. This vintage from Chateau Rieussec is a true masterpiece, showcasing the best of Sauternes and solidifying its reputation as a top producer in the region.
