About Chateau Rieussec
Château Rieussec, nestled in the heart of the Sauternes appellation in Bordeaux, France, is celebrated for its exquisite dessert wines crafted from botrytized grapes. With a history dating back to the 18th century, the estate has earned a reputation for producing some of the finest sweet wines in the world. Situated on the limestone-rich soils of the Barsac region, Château Rieussec benefits from ideal conditions for the development of noble rot, or botrytis cinerea, which concentrates the sugars and flavors in the grapes, resulting in wines of unparalleled richness and complexity.
Under the stewardship of the Domaines Barons de Rothschild (Lafite) since 1984, Château Rieussec continues to uphold its legacy of excellence and innovation in winemaking. With meticulous vineyard management and careful selection of grapes during harvest, the estate produces wines that balance opulence with freshness, showcasing flavors of honey, apricot, citrus, and exotic spices. Château Rieussec remains a benchmark for Sauternes and serves as a testament to the artistry and tradition of Bordeaux winemaking.
