94-96 Lisa Perrotti-Brown - The Wine Independent

The 2022 Rieussec, 93% Semillon and 7% Sauvignon Blanc, is pale to medium straw in color. It swans out with showy scents of lemon tart, honey-drizzled white peaches, and apple sauce with hints of yuzu, coriander seed, and lemon verbena tea. The palate is intense and lively, with bold stone fruit flavors and a long, honey-laced finish.

93-95 Antonio Galloni - Vinous

The 2022 Rieussec has a precise bouquet with mineral-infused honeyed fruit, and hints of oyster shell tucked under that botrytis. The palate is medium-bodied with a viscous opening, crisp acidity, very harmonious with neatly integrated oak. Lively on the finish, but I feel this will need bottle age to cohere. Patience required.

93 Georgina Hindle - Decanter

Bright lemon, floral orange blossom and fleshy peach - juicy with caramelised edges and soft touches of salty minerality that gives a nice contrast. Unctuous and rich, lacking a touch more vibrancy and zing at this point, but smooth, focussed with great density and sweetness overall.
