Domaines Barons de Rothschild
Château Rieussec ‘R de Rieussec’ Bordeaux Blanc
Some notes of tropical fruit, predominantly passion fruit, followed by floral notes with a hint of aniseed, suggesting fennel and tarragon. The wine’s minerality and concentration are already apparent in the nose. On the palate, the attack is round and full, with subtle notes of fresh butter, followed by superb notes of freshly cut wood which contribute to the wine’s concentration and purity. The finish is concentrated and long, balanced by a pleasant hint of bitterness.
