Château Rieussec 2019

Château Rieussec 2019: Sauternes Excellence

This exceptional vintage comes from outstanding terroir at the confluence of Fargues and Sauternes, where 85 hectares of sandy-gravelly-clay soils produce one of Bordeaux's finest sweet wines.

The harmonious blend of Sémillon (89%), Sauvignon Blanc (9%), and Muscadelle (2%) benefits from meticulous vinification: gentle pneumatic pressing, fermentation in new barrels from Tonnellerie des Domaines, followed by 24 months of oak aging.

Nose: Intense, complex bouquet revealing candied citrus, lemon tart, and toasted brioche notes.

Color: Delicate gold with tender green reflections.

Palate: Rich, dense texture with mandarin and candied orange aromas enhanced by an aniseed touch. Elegant finish with subtle bitters providing freshness and length.

Rieussec 2019 was aged for 18 to 26 months in barrels.

Rieussec 2019 is the ideal companion for aperitifs and light starters. Its warm character is particularly well suited to sharing plates or small dishes.
