A Sauternes of exceptional complexity and outstanding balance

Rich, lush, fat, sweet and juicy, there is fabulous intensity in the luscious honey-coated, tropical fruit, apricot and white peach filled wine. The acidity is there awarding this sweet treat lift and energy, making this just a pleasure to taste young. But the rewards come with aging, so give it at least another decade more age if you can.

STORY BEHIND THE LABEL

Château Rieussec is located in Sauternes right next to the famous estate Chateau d’Yquem. 90% Semillon, 7% Sauvignon Blanc and 3% Muscadelle are planted over 93 hectares in soils of large gravel over clay subsoils. One of the largest estates in Sauternes, Château Rieussec has ideal conditions for the development of botrytis cinerea. The harvest is manual and workers pick grape by grape in order to only select the finest fruit.
