Is R de Rieussec a good wine?
What reviewers say
“Light golden in color with a nose of citrus, wood, minerality. Tastes of ripe grapefruit, lemon curd, hints of white peach. Refreshing balanced acidity with a smooth mouthfeel. Blend of 57% Sauvignon Blanc and 53% Semillion that ages in French oak. Mineral notes.”
From a top-rated Vivino review for this bottle.
Summary
Very fruity Sauvignon nose at first, followed by a second wave of rounder Sémillon aromas. On the palate the wine is fresh with a fairly lively attack, becoming more rounded on the finish. The woody notes are not dominant and leave the wine its “freedom of expression”.
