Owned by Domaines Barons de Rothschild Lafite since 1984, Rieussec is located in the heart of the Sauternes vineyards. Surrounded by water and nature, the property, with its simple and rigorous architecture, stands out for its free contours. Its unique terroir, combined with the know-how and exemplary viticulture applied by its team, enable it to produce precise, quality wines. For several generations, the property has been one of the benchmarks of Sauternes, honouring the excellence of know-how and the French art of living. More rigorous sorting of the grapes and fermentation in barrels, as well as a new cellar built in 1989, have resulted in a finer selection of the blend of each Rieussec Cru, where quality undoubtedly prevails over quantity.
Tasting notes
Delicate nose with notes of rhubarb, peach and white flowers. Light and delicious on the palate. The wine has a fresh attack, with hints of rhubarb already present on the nose. The smooth finish is characterised by buttery and slightly muscat aromas.
