Chateau Rieussec 1er Cru Classe 2023

97
/100

Lobenberg: 2023 ist so unvorstellbar aromatisch in Sauternes und geschmeidig lecker, zum Reinspringen. Mango, Holunder, Pfirsich und frisches Zitronengras, Zitronensorbet. Einfach nur schön!

Suckling über: Chateau Rieussec 1er Cru Classe

-- Suckling: An extremely serious wine, yet already very approachable. Cream, pineapple, honeyed apricots, mangoes, wax and a hint of white mushrooms on the nose. Impeccable balance between fruit and botrytis complexity. Luscious yet supple, with a round, full body and an extremely long finish. Subtle cream comes up at the end. Newly designed bottle. Already delicious, but can hold for decades.

Decanter über: Chateau Rieussec 1er Cru Classe

-- Decanter: Lovely yellow gold colour, bright and shining in the glass. Aromatic nose, ripe mango and nectarine with some elderflower and cool, crisp apple scents. Ripe and sweet but so well balanced and harmonious. I love the interplay between almost sherbet lemon sweetness and zinginess with quite pronounced bitter aspects too - grapefruit rind, vanilla bean, pastry and some toasted spice on the finish. A very modern interpretation which begs for food. Not super typical but this has effortless drinkability. Ends clean and light but long with a kick of freshness that immediately draws you back in. Botrytis arrived mid September, the harvest started on 15th September. Grapes were picked in five separate passes just from the first onset of botrytis with no rain after. 3.9pH.

The Wine Independent über: Chateau Rieussec 1er Cru Classe

-- The Wine Independent: A blend of 97% Semillon and 3% Sauvignon Blanc, the 2023 Rieussec has 148 g/l of residual sugar and a pH of 3.95. It is pale lemon-straw in color and zips out of the glass with spritely notes of lemon drops, fresh yellow apples, and grapefruit oil, leading to a fragrant undercurrent of lime blossoms, jasmine tea, and acacia honey. The palate is concentrated, with rich sweetness off-set by a laser-fine line of freshness, finishing long and zesty.

Mein Winzer

Rieussec

Das 1er Cru Rieussec liegt im Herzen der Appellation auf der zweithöchsten Erhebung (nach d’Yquem) und besteht aus einem einzigen, zusammenhängenden Weinberg – eine Seltenheit in Bordeaux.
