"Intense and richly sweet, this wine is also balanced, with both botrytis and baked-apple acidity coming through. This essential dryness gives the wine a dense core and aging potential. A high proportion of Sémillon adds its weight at the end. Drink from 2020. — Wine Enthusiast.

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.
