Description
Proudly guarding the entrance to the Sauternes appellation, Château Rieussec enjoys prestige in more ways than one. Its origins date back to the 18th century, when it belonged to the Carmelite monks of Langon, and was sold as national property during the French Revolution.
The Château Rieussec was consecrated Premier Grand Cru Classé during the classification of Bordeaux wines officialized in 1855 for the Paris Universal Exhibition.
It was in 1984 that it was acquired by the Domaines Baron de Rothschild. When it comes to innovation, the quest for excellence and precision in the cellar and the vineyard, and respect for the environment, nothing has ever been left to chance to make Domaine and its wines shine.
The Château Rieussec is based on 85 hectares of vines planted on extremely high-quality sandy-clay gravel soils. The grape varieties are 81% Semillon, 17% Sauvignon Blanc and 2% Muscadelle. The wines are aged for 18 to 26 months in French oak barrels, 80 to 100% of which are new.
The estate also produces a Second wine, Carmes de RieusSec.
The Château Rieussec delivers a unique expression of the Sauternes vineyard, thanks to its floral and yellow and white-fleshed fruit aromatic expression, elegance, freshness and longevity.
Tasting Notes
The Château Rieussec 2020 reveals a subtle nose, marked by aromas of rhubarb, peach and white flowers. On the palate, freshness dominates with a lively, greedy attack, giving way to an unctuous, slightly muscat-like finish, enriched with buttery nuances.
Food Pairing
Perfect with foie gras escalope and blue cheeses. Finally, at the end of an important dinner as a meditation wine.
