Château Rieussec
Château Rieussec is one of the richest and most exotic of
all Sauternes, producing particularly good wines in the late 1980s and
the mid 1990s. Rieussec has been owned by Domaines Barons de Rothschild
since 1985 and is located at one of the highest points of Sauternes in the
village of Fargues where its vineyards border those of Château d`Yquem.
Rieussec's 75 hectares of vineyards are planted with 89% Sémillon, 8% Sauvignon Blanc and 3% Muscadelle. Yields are low and the grapes are fermented in stainless steel tanks and oak casks before being matured in oak barriques (70% new) for 18-24 months.
Rieussec produces a classic full-bodied Sauternes that is deep golden-yellow in colour and packed with lusciously sweet, honeyed fruits. Classsfied as a 1er Cru Classé, its best vintages rival those from d`Yquem.

This majestic Rieussec provides further proof, if any were needed, of the fantastic quality of the sumptuous 2003 Sauternes. This also restores this noble estate, owned by the Rothschild family (from the Lafite line), to its position behind Ch. d'Yquem in the Sauternes hierarchy. Tingling aromas of ... MORE | ||||

D'Yquem still seems to be head and shoulders above everyone else in Sauternes but Rieussec is part of the select group - made up of Climens and Suduiraut - chasing for the second spot. This is better than 2003 but a little bit behind 2001 in terms of gravitas and zingy acidity. It is nonetheless a ...

The 1990 Rieussec is more precocious and flattering than the more highly rated 1988 and 1989, with its tropical fruit-scented nose, big, spicy, rich, high alcohol flavors, and a fine underpinning of acidity giving everything clarity and crispness. It is drinkable at an earlier age than ... MORE Drink 2000-2025 . Parker Score: 90/100 | ||||
