Chateau Rieussec 1997 Grand Cru Classe Sauternes (France)

Producer: 
Chateau Rieussec
Item name: 
Grand Cru Classe Sauternes
Wine type: 
White
Reviewer: 
Tom DiNardo

In the glass, this sauternes features a golden amber core extending out to the rim of the glass. The nose offers up aromas of toasted marshmallow, orange essence and raisins. The palette delivers tremendous viscosity and unctuous flavors of crème brulee, dried apricot, pineapple, and toasted marshmallow. You will experience an amazingly long finish. Truly the nectar of the gods!
