Avis d'expert

97 / 100

Robert PARKER - The Wine Advocate

(04-2016) The 2005 Rieussec is a blend of 90% Semillon, 8% Sauvignon Blanc and 2% Muscadelle picked between 23 September and 27 October. It has a fabulous bouquet that is mineral-rich and tensile. The palate repeats its performance from last year: focused, tense, laden with botrytis-rich fruit with a crystalline and sorbet-fresh finish that seals the deal. One of the best releases from the estate in recent years.

96 / 100

Wine Spectator

(06-2008) Shows enticing aromas of toffee, cream, dried apricot and caramel. Full-bodied, very sweet and thick, with honey and caramel flavors. Long and rich, oozing with sweet, ripe fruit, this is like liquid candy. Best after 2016.

95 / 100

Tom Cannavan

(01-2007) As usual, a brilliant performance. Rieussec is all mellow honey and rounded, deeply ripe and concentrated fruit. The palate displays lovely botrytis, with a mouth-filling presence and terrific orangy verve and sharpness. Lovely structure here and real length.

94 / 100

Jeff Leve - The Wine Cellar Insider

(08-2013) Vanilla bean, honey coated tropical fruit, apricot and macadamia nut aromas move you into a lush, fat, sweet, dense wine with lots of sweetness, yet enough, much needed freshening acidity. Still young as expected, it's a lot of fun tasting these wines in their youth.

93 / 100

Jeannie Cho Lee

(06-2015) Attractive honeyed nose with dried apricot and marmalade on the palate. This Sauternes offers intense, good concentration of flavors and high ripeness/sweetness level. Still young, just starting to drink well now.
