Château Rieussec
1st cru classé
Vintage 2008
During winter, the presence of frost has been very beneficial and restful for grapevine. However, during spring, some freeze was still registered. This was harmful for young buds and affected unfavourably grape growing. Viticultural period was quite difficult because of a constant alternation between sun and rain. We had to wait until the beginning of September to have nice and stable weather conditions.
Tasting note (at bottling):
Rich, smooth and liqueur-like wine which finishes on fruity and light notes.Aromas are still discreet, with subtle wooden notes.
