Reimagined in a more vibrant style, in a Burgundy/Loire bottle, the 2021 R de Rieussec exhibits scents of citrus oil, gooseberry and botanicals, followed by a medium-bodied, bright and vibrant palate, with tangy acids and a nicely defined finish. It's an attractive middleweight that avoids the pungently varietal, heavily sulfitic caricatural style so prevalent in contemporary Bordeaux, while managing to reinvent what was historically a rather richer, more fruit-driven wine.

About this wine

Château Rieussec

Château Rieussec has a long history dating back to the 18th century and is located in the Sauternes appellation of Bordeaux, France. The castle was founded by Carmelite monks and was later acquired by Louis XVI's finance minister, the Marquis de Lafaurie.

Sauternes

The dessert wine capital of the world, known for its golden amber-colored products, is a small wine region south of Bordeaux dedicated to dessert wine. The top producer is the well-known Château d'Yquem, which is in high demand.
