(6x75cl) 2020Emanating from the stunning vineyards of Haut-Medoc, the Reysson Reserve 2020 is an upscale embodiment of exceptional Bordeaux winemaking. This respectable red is a result of meticulous viniculture practices and the expert precision of winemaker Laurent Duffau. The fusion of the estate's dominant Merlot with a subsequent splash of Cabernet Sauvignon promises an all-encompassing arraying of striking fruit nuances with an undertow of warming spice.
The grapes in Reysson Reserve 2020 are meticulously handpicked, ensuring only the finest berries contribute to the velvety richness of each bottle. 12-months aging in French oak barrels bestows a noteworthy touch of toasty charisma, finishing with a whisper of finely-grained tannins.
Reysson Reserve 2020 is a delightful testament to its terroir - a masterpiece of balance, structure, and envious complexity. It is undisputedly a wine of elegance, depth and exquisite refinement.

Wine Advocate (93-95)
Rieussec was hit by hail on the 15th of July, says Eric Kohler. For Sauternes, the botrytis began very late. It was very difficult for the botrytis to begin. There was not so much sugar this year and not so much botrytis. This is not as great a year as 2015 or 2017. Harvest at Rieussec began on October 10 and ended on October 31. Blended of 75% Sémillon and 25% Sauvignon Blanc, the pale lemon-gold colored 2018 Rieussec reveals delicate scents of lemon drops, pear tart, marzipan and crushed stones over a core of orange blossoms, white peaches and lime leaves. The palate has a quiet intensity of an array of citrus and savory layers with amazing freshness, finishing with great length and depth.Inc. TAX€304.79 -

The 2019 Rieussec is absolutely gorgeous. Gracious and supremely elegant in feel, the 2019 is immediately impressive. An exotic melange of lemon confit, marzipan, white flowers, passionfruit and tangerine oil opens effortlessly. The 2019 is compelling from start to finish. Harvest took place from October 8 to 15, in three passes. The 2019 is the first vintage that will be offered in a stylish new bottle. It is no secret Sauternes has struggled of late. I must say I really liked the new and very modern presentation, which shows a more playful side of Sauternes that might just work in creating a bit more excitement around these wines.Inc.

The 2021 Rieussec is bright, floral and super-refined. White flowers, lemon confit, pear, passionfruit and mint are all nicely lifted, with beams of bright acids that lend support.

Utilizing traditional stainless steel vats, the wine underwent a delicate fermentation process, preserving the nuanced flavours and vibrant acidity. Following fermentation, the Ripeau 1996 was aged for 18 months in French oak barrels, imparting subtle notes of vanilla and spice while allowing the wine to develop its complex character. This exceptional vintage boasts a deep ruby hue, with aromas of blackcurrant, tobacco, and cedar entwined with hints of dark chocolate. On the palate, it offers a harmonious balance of ripe tannins and refined acidity, culminating in a long, elegant finish. The Ripeau 1996 exemplifies the producer’s dedication to excellence and is a sublime addition to any fine wine collection.

Under the vigilant stewardship of Master Vintner Jean-Claude Ripeau, the wine was aged for 24 months in French oak barrels, imparting subtle notes of vanilla and spice. The Ripeau 1997 presents a deep ruby hue, with an aromatic bouquet of blackcurrant, plum, and tobacco, leading to a full-bodied palate with velvety tannins and a lingering finish.
