2002 Sauternes 1er Cru Classe
The contrasted growing season in 2002 yielded rich wines. The 2002 Chateau Rieussec is 85% Semillon, 8% Sauvignon Blanc, and 7% Muscadelle.
The vintage displays a solid green-tinted yellow hue. The nose exudes a lot of freshness as well as discreet botrytis with grapefruit dominating citrus notes. The palate is built on freshness. Medium-bodied and ethereal, this offering evolves on finesse and elegance the pairing of desiccated grapes from the first selections and botrytis from the end of the harvest creates the much anticipated and distinctive effect on this beautiful vintage.
