What is in this wine, and where it grows
The wine
CHÂTEAU RIEUSSEC 1er Cru Classé Sauternes 2016 Wine (75cl) is recorded as a 2016 dessert wine made from Sémillon.
Typical grape profile: Sémillon — Waxy, honeyed and lanolin-like young; capable of legendary sweet wines (Sauternes) with noble rot. The finished bottle can differ with vintage and winemaking.
The vineyard evidence
No verified vineyard or named parcel is linked yet. BottlePicker therefore does not assign a soil, elevation or site temperature to this bottle from its regional name alone.
Soil structure and vine density
No site-specific soil or planting-density record is available for this bottle.
Growing-temperature context
For general cultivar-level heat guidance, see the Sémillon growing profile. BottlePicker does not apply a generic range to this bottle without a verified vineyard link.
Source-supplied bottle description
Retained as supporting identification copy; the structured facts and evidence links above are kept separate.
The 2018 Rieussec has plenty of botrytis on the nose, along with scents of honey, white peach, saffron, lanolin and walnut that gain intensity with aeration. The very well balanced palate presents a viscous opening and a fine bead of acidity. Generous and poised, with hints of marzipan and Turkish Delight decorating the finish. Excellent. Tasted blind at the annual Southwold tasting.
Evidence boundary
This page combines the recorded bottle identity with linked source records. An exact region-name match supplies regional context but does not prove that this bottle carries the protected designation. A vineyard is only shown as bottle-level evidence when a wine-to-vineyard link exists. BottlePicker does not infer a vineyard, soil or site climate from a retailer title.
