Château Rieussec
1st cru classé
Vintage 2006
The autumn/winter period of 2005-2006 was exceptionally dry, which was then compensated for by heavy rain during March. There was fine weather and warm temperatures from April to July; August was cooler but the sun returned at the beginning of September to complete the ripening process.
Beautiful pale golden colour with hints of orange.
A fairly dense nose with a delightful combination of flowers (honeysuckle and acacia) and candied fruit.
Starts subtly in the mouth and then intensifies with notes of honey and a long fruity finish with good freshness.
