Château Rieussec 1er cru classé, Sauternes

Château Rieussec remains a premier pillar of Sauternes, trusted by collectors for challenging the market through concentration and steady price stability at auction. Under Rothschild ownership, the estate’s terroir is gravelly clay-limestone dominated by sémillon and supported by sauvignon blanc and muscadelle plantings. Driven by intense noble rot and barrel vinification, Rieussec goes far beyond simple sweetness. It has a dense, high-acid structure built for vast, multi-decade cellaring.
