CHATEAU RIEUSSEC SAUTERNES 1ST GRAND CRU CLASSE FRANCE 2019

This new bottle uses 95% recycled glass, and the redesigned cork allows for greater longevity of the wine once opened. The 2019 is another classic example of the fresh yet powerful Sauternes for which this four-century-old château is renowned. The nose exudes honeyed tropical fruit with underlying notes of toast and smoke. The palate is well balanced with a rich, oily texture and slightly sharper citrus fruit than on the nose, underpinned by nutmeg, sumac and peppery spice. The finish is long and complex.
