Tasting Notes
Grape
Sémillon 94%, with smaller additions of Sauvignon Blanc and Muscadelle.
Tasting notes
A rich and opulent Sauternes dominated by Sémillon, offering intense aromas of honeyed apricot, candied citrus, pineapple, and exotic fruit. The palate is luscious yet vibrant, with remarkable purity, fresh acidity, and layers of botrytis-driven complexity. Concentrated and beautifully balanced, with a long, silky finish and excellent ageing potential.
More About The Winery
Located on the highest point of the municipalities of Fargues and Sauternes, the Château Rieussec neighbours Yquem and is home to a contiguous vineyard planted in sandy clay or gravel clay soil. This cru's reputation bears testimony to the exceptional quality of its wines. The latter feature a well-defined golden hue and are complex, powerful and concentrated.
