Parker about Château Rieussec 1997
This wine contains an extremely high percentage of Semillon (usually about 90%), which was to its benefit in 1997. The wine is light medium gold-colored, with a blockbuster nose of Grand Marnier liqueur intertwined with flower blossoms, smoky new oak, and coconut. Well-integrated wood has resulted in a seamless, full-bodied, unctuously-textured wine with considerable sweetness. This is a stunningly proportioned, beautifully pure wine.

Château Rieussec 1997
The 1997 Château Rieussec is an elegant Sauternes that beautifully embodies the fruity and juicy characteristics of this vintage. With a bright golden yellow color, it reveals its intense concentration even in the glass. The nose unfolds with an aromatic bouquet of apricots, candied citrus fruits, and honey, complemented by notes of vanilla and a hint of floral aromas that lend the wine a floral lightness.
On the palate, the 1997 Rieussec is full-bodied and creamy, with a balanced sweetness accompanied by fresh acidity, giving the wine a wonderful vibrancy. Ripe fruit aromas—apricot, peach, and a hint of pineapple—blend with honey and gentle spice notes. The finish is long and expressive, with a subtle mineral note that adds elegance and depth.
This vintage pairs perfectly with sweet and savory dishes such as foie gras, blue cheese, or fruit-based desserts. The 1997 Château Rieussec is ideal for enjoying now, but can also age for several more years, gaining complexity.
