Château Rieussec Sémillon-Sauvignon Blanc Blend 2013

Château Rieussec
Varietal: Sémillon-Sauvignon Blanc Blend
Vintage: 2013
Country of Origin: France
Appellation: Sauternes
Retail Price: $90.00

Tasting Notes: The 2013 vintage was one of the best for this Chateau in a year that produced very little quality grapes in Sauterne. The floral and fruit are perfectly balanced. Full body with crisp acidity, add a bit of ginger and fresh peach, and you have a perfect afternoon sipper with friends.
