Aroma: Discreet, with subtle wooden notes.
Palate: Rich, smooth and liqueur-like wine which finishes on fruity and light notes.
Conclusion: Rich rather than sweet, this is stuffed full of botrytis. The wine is powered through with this dusty texture, rolling richly but catching the dried fruit character.
Editor Choice: The wine is aged for 16 to 26 months in oak barrels, produced mostly at Domaines Barons de Rothschild (Lafite) cooperage and half are renewed each year. Classified "Premier Grand Cru" in 1855, Rieussec has held its reputation and the quality of its wine.
