Score 16/20 · Drink 2015-2022, Julia Harding MW, jancisrobinson.com, Nov 2015

85% Sémillon, 10% Sauvignon Blanc and some Muscadelle. Second wine of Ch Rieussec. Barley sugar and cedary/oaky aromas. Richly viscous and full of caramelised orange flavours as well as a sour freshness. This is not chilled so it is not really flattered but it is very sweet and intense and satisfying. Just enough freshness. (JH)
