Region: Bordeaux, France
Grape: Sauvignon Blanc

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.
