Grand Cru Sauternes estate Chateau Rieussec is owned by the Les Domaines Barons de Rothschild (Lafite). This wine from the excellent 2018 vintage is a blend of botrytis-affected grapes, Semillon, Sauvignon, and Muscadelle. A pretty second wine of Rieussec with creamy, cooked pear and apple character. Some soufflé character, too. The bottle is medium body, medium sweet, with a fresh finish."
