2022 Château Rieussec

The 2022 Rieussec has a perfumed nose of dried honey, muscat, honeysuckle and saffron with commendable intensity. Very mercurial in the glass, it coils up and conveys more strictness after a few minutes. The palate is medium-bodied with a keen line of acidity and a little spice, as touches of ginger come through on the finish. Very fine. 139 g/L residual sugar.

The 2022 Rieussec, 93% Semillon and 7% Sauvignon Blanc, is pale to medium straw in color. It swans out with showy scents of lemon tart, honey-drizzled white peaches, and apple sauce with hints of yuzu, coriander seed, and lemon verbena tea. The palate is intense and lively, with bold stone fruit flavors and a long, honey-laced finish. (06/2023)
