Tasting Notes
A blend of 97% Semillon and 3% Sauvignon Blanc, the 2023 Rieussec has 148 g/l of residual sugar and a pH of 3.95. It is pale lemon-straw in color and zips out of the glass with spritely notes of lemon drops, fresh yellow apples, and grapefruit oil, leading to a fragrant undercurrent of lime blossoms, jasmine tea, and acacia honey. The palate is concentrated, with rich sweetness off-set by a laser-fine line of freshness, finishing long and zesty.
