Tasting notes
Ailes de Rieussec Blanc by Château Rieussec is a quintessential Sauternes noble rot wine, you know. The 2007 vintage shows off the beautiful balance of Sémillon and Sauvignon Blanc. Known for its historic reputation, Rieussec offers a glimpse of its magic through this second wine, making it accessible without losing that touch of elegance.
In volume 25, this wine makes an appearance when Shizuku shares it with Marie in a cozy English garden setting. Picture an afternoon where sunlight filters through the trees, evoking a tranquil, lazy holiday afternoon. The aroma of lemon balm and mint fills the air, almost like sipping herbal tea with a glass of this wine.
When you pour it, the golden liquid shines with a slight viscosity. The aromas are inviting, with apricot and honey leading the way, followed by hints of white peach and pear adding depth. On the palate, the sweetness unfolds richly, balanced by a lively acidity that keeps it refreshing. The finish is long, leaving a lingering sweetness and a touch of bitterness.
This wine is luscious yet maintains a bright acidity that prevents it from becoming cloying. Pair it with dessert to enhance its appeal even further. Try it well-chilled to bring out its fresh side—it's an experience you don't want to miss!
