Château Rieussec 2010 is a classed-growth Sauternes built for buyers who want richness, botrytis depth and the structure to age. It is a natural fit for dessert service, foie gras pairings and collectors looking for a strong modern vintage from a leading estate.
From the Producer
Château Rieussec is a Premier Cru Classé estate in Sauternes, part of the Domaines Barons de Rothschild (Lafite) portfolio. The property is planted mainly to Sémillon with a smaller share of Sauvignon Blanc, and its wines are built around botrytis-affected fruit picked in successive selective passes through the vineyard, the traditional method that concentrates sugar and flavour in the region's classed-growth sweet wines.
Tasting Profile
- Nose: Honey, apricot, citrus peel, saffron and ripe stone fruit.
- Palate: Lush and layered, with marmalade, tropical fruit, botrytis spice and balancing freshness.
- Finish: Long and resonant, with sweetness lifted by citrus and mineral persistence.
Best For
Foie gras, blue cheese, fruit desserts and cellars seeking a serious Sauternes with long development ahead.
