Château Rieussec : A Full-Bodied Premier Cru Classé Sauternes

Château Rieussec 2014 is a distinguished sweet white wine from the Sauternes appellation in Bordeaux, France. Classified as a Premier Cru Classé (First Growth) in the 1855 classification, it stands among the elite producers of the region.​

This vintage is a blend of 93% Sémillon, 5% Sauvignon Blanc, and 2% Muscadelle, harvested through meticulous selection over multiple passes to ensure optimal botrytis development. The wine underwent fermentation in new French oak barrels, followed by aging for 18 to 24 months, enhancing its complexity and depth.​

On the nose, Château Rieussec 2014 offers intense aromas of citrus zest, lemon tart, and toasted brioche. The palate is full-bodied and rich, displaying flavors of mandarin zest, candied orange, and a touch of star anise, balanced by a refreshing acidity that provides vibrancy and length to the finish. ​

This wine pairs exceptionally well with foie gras, blue cheeses, and fruit-based desserts. Its structure and balance also make it suitable for aging, promising further development of its nuanced flavors over time.​
