Château Rieussec 2010 is a sweet wine from the Sauternes appellation of Bordeaux. Château Rieussec consistently shines as one of the most renowned names in Sauternes, and it is often considered the second-best wine of the appellation, following Château d`Yquem. "The 2010 Rieussec is slightly more backwards on the nose. It is very focused with almond, saffron, orange pith and dried honey aromas that gain intensity with aeration. The palate is medium-bodied with a harmonious entry. Impressive depth with lovely vanillary new oak, it is long and pure towards the finish. A Sauternes with pedigree. Superb." Vinous, 2020
