Marks and reviews

/100

Robert Parker

Lisa Perrotti-Brown

Pale to medium gold colored, the 2009 Carmes de Rieussec opens with evolving honey-coated almonds, lemon pie and dried pineapple scents with hints of candied ginger, praline and cinnamon toast. Full-bodied and opulent in the mouth, it has compelling savory accents and just enough freshness to sustain the long, honey-nut finish.

Wine Spectator

James Molesworth

A bright, juicy, mouthfilling style, with enticing apricot, toasted almond and fig flavors backed by a flash of candied orange peel on the finish. A little rambunctious in the end, but still solid. Drink now through 2017.

/100

James Suckling

A thick and rich wine with honey, spice and dried mushroom. Full-bodied, medium-sweet, with a medium finish. Dense and straightforward. Drink now.

Description

2009 Sauternes 2e Vin du Chateau Rieussec

The 2009 Carmes de Rieussec is a single-grape Semillon. This Second Vin from Chateau Rieussec reveals very intense fruits. The Sauternes from Bordeaux is immediately alluring, with a very creamy texture, quite full, and balanced. The lovely finish is enhanced by a vibrant touch.
