Château Rieussec
R Bordeaux Blanc Sec Sémillon-Sauvignon Blanc Blend
Bordeaux, France
Star bright pale straw gold. Abundant and inviting nose of lemon rind and stony white peach. On the medium light palate, tart lemon pith, white pepper, underripe white peach, and cement block. Bracing (medium plus) acidity from entry to short-ish finish. An excellent example of the brighter, more modern style of Bordeaux Blanc Sec that’s ready for seafood, salads, broiled fowl, and lighter white wine fare. No need to hold it. Drink now through 2024.

The nose is quite exotic for a Bordeaux white with tropical fruits leading the way, supplemented by green apple, fresh cut grass, and citrus blossom. Good tension and volume on the palate with fresh acidity and generous texture. Finishes long and clean.
Outstanding value from a winery of this caliber.

I preferred this white Bordeaux over the Pape Clement. This was mellow and easy drinking with notes of rose petals, honey and a touch of citrus. Great wine.
