Château Rieussec
Château Rieussec is one of the most emblematic properties of the Sauternes appellation in Bordeaux. Classified as Premier Grand Cru Classé in 1855, it is located in Fargues, very close to the mythical Château d'Yquem. Since 1984, it has belonged to Domaines Barons de Rothschild (Lafite), which has further enhanced its prestige through sustainable practices and meticulous winemaking. Its sweet wines, made mainly from Sémillon, Sauvignon Blanc and Muscadelle affected by noble rot (Botrytis cinerea), stand out for their aromatic intensity - honey, candied fruit, saffron, citrus peel - and their exceptional cellaring capacity. An essential reference for those who want to ask questions at the beginning of their journey through the great Bordeaux liqueur wines.
