Château Rieussec 2005 is a distinguished Premier Cru Classé Sauternes wine, produced by an estate that has been under the ownership of Domaines Barons de Rothschild (Lafite) since 1984. This vintage is composed of 90% Sémillon, 7% Sauvignon Blanc, and 3% Muscadelle, reflecting the estate`s typical blend. The wine exudes fresh citrus aromas, notably mandarin peel, accompanied by subtle toasty nuances. On the palate, it offers a smooth, full-bodied texture, leading to a prolonged finish that reveals flavours of dried apricots, caramel, and bitter orange. This vintage exemplifies the elegance and complexity inherent in Château Rieussec`s esteemed legacy.
