This is the second label of the great Sauternes estate, Chateau Rieussec. Light to medium-bodied,sweet with a honeyed richness, some peach and pineapple hints, good lenth and a very good price.

From the Clarence Dillon family of wines—owners of the inestimable Chateaux Haut-Brion and La Mission Haut-Brion. A beautifully balanced combination of Semillon and Sauvignon Blanc that hints of grapefruit, pineapple and lemon/lime notes.

“A five-star wine in the making. The final ‘assemblage’ was not made, so one could only taste elements of the wine. But even from this, the exceptional quality was clear. The total crop was 24 hl/ha; nearly twice the average for 1995-2004. This is indicative of the exceptional conditions in the vineyard throughout the harvesting. My notes keep retuning to words like intensity and freshness of the perfume, citrus/pineapple aroma, enormous, rich flavours with long, lingering freshness, finesse and sweetness and acidity balance. 5 stars” David Peppercorn, MW, Decanter Magazine

One of Bordeaux’s top red wine chateaux, Cos d’Estournel, has released its first ever white wine.

A Bordeaux white blend of Semillon and Sauvignon Blanc. Despite the chateau’s location in the south of St Estephe, (and a neighbor to Lafite in Pauillac) the vineyards for Cos blanc are located at the northernmost tip of the Medoc between the river and the Atlantic.
“This beauty exhibits copious notes of figs, melons, and green apple skins intermixed with mango, lemon zest, and nectarines. The wood component is barely detectable in this medium-bodied, stylish white.”
Parker Rating: 90 pts.

“Almost as excellent as the 2003. There’s intense botrytis spice on the nose, with lemon peel and dried pineapple. Full-bodied, superspicy and intense. Extremely racy. A beautiful wine.”

“Spice, dried pineapple, honey and light apricot aromas, like freshly crushed grapes. Full-bodied and very sweet, with masses of crushed fruit character and a long finish.” James Suckling
