About the wine

Rieussec has been owned by the Domaines Barons de Rothschild Lafite since 1984 and is located in the heart of the Sauternes vineyards. Surrounded by water and nature, the property, with its simple and austere architecture, is characterized by its free contours. His unique terroir combined with the know-how and exemplary viticulture of his team makes it possible to produce precise quality wines. For several generations, the winery has been one of Sauternes' flagships, which stands for the excellence of know-how and the French art of living. Stricter sorting of grapes and fermentation in barrels, as well as the construction of a new wine cellar in 1989, have resulted in a finer selection of the blend of each Rieussec Cru, in which quality undoubtedly prevails over quantity.
