Château Rieussec 2009 Barrel sample White (Sauternes)
- Online Exclusive
96-98 Barrel sample. Concentrated and dense, this is a wine that fits well into the power of 2009. There is richness, but as well there is great elegance, a great structure of richness and sweetness, with the final bite of honey.

Château Rieussec 2006 White (Sauternes)
Wonderful, evocative orange marmalade and ginger flavors play around this rich wine. Its botrytis dryness doesn’t detract from the intense sweetness, ripe apricots, spice and deliciously refreshing acidity. The richness is in the texture, but the ripeness is in the open, generous fruit.

Château Rieussec 2005 White (Sauternes)
You get both apricots and honeyed botrytis aromas that are followed through by a dry core, very full-bodied with richness, the sweetness of the yellow jam fruits, apricots and mangoes gliding over the palate. Delicious, and certainly ageworthy.

- Online Exclusive
92—94 Barrel sample. A fat, full wine, this is rich, intense, concentrated. Great layers of botrytis and apricot flavors give it attraction and power.—R.V.

Château Rieussec 2008 Barrel sample White (Sauternes)
- Online Exclusive
92-94 Barrel sample. Rich rather than sweet, this is stuffed full of botrytis. The wine is powered through with this dusty texture, rolling richly but catching the dried fruit character.

Château Rieussec 2005 Barrel sample White (Sauternes)
- Online Exclusive
91-93 Barrel sample. Spice and light wood flavors dominate this delicious, poised wine, but it also has dense fruit, some light marmalade and a bit of sweetness, but more in the way of dry botrytis.
— R.V.
