154. Château Rieussec, Sauternes “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. 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. Drinking Window: 2027 - 2049.” 97 pts, Vinous 393859 750 ml $320 155. Château Sigalas Rabaud, Sauternes “The 2019 Sigalas Rabaud shows better from bottle than it did as a barrel sample. Some of the mid-palate has filled out, which is a plus. Orange confit, dried flowers and chamomile are nicely laced together in this understated, mid-weight Sauternes. Drinking Window: 2024 - 2034.” 91 pts, Vinous 389489 750 ml $120
