2009 Chateau Rieussec Premier Cru Classe, Sauternes 1x750ml

Robert Parker 98

Pale to medium gold colored, the 2009 Rieussec sings of creme caramel, chopped nuts, baked apples and spiced pears with hints of jasmine, peach blossoms and beeswax. Full-bodied, rich and decadently creamy in the mouth, the multilayered palate is beautifully lifted with fantastic freshness. It has a very long finish offering a lasting impression of great elegance and finesse. Simply stunning. [Lisa Perrotti-Brown, 06/03/2019]
