This Yquem neighbor belonged to monks when it was classified in 1855 as a 1er Cru. Since 1984, it belongs to the Rothschild family, also ower of Lafite and Duhart-Milon in Pauillac. The current chai was built in 1989 and allows Rieussec to experiment with longer agings. Like Yquem, Rieussec does not produce on vintages where the quality does not meet their standards.
Rieussec is one of more opulent Sauternes, thanks to its long agings (sometimes 24 months). Caramel and vanilla notes when young turn into more safran aromas, typical of old Sauternes.

Provenance and storage of our wines
All wines and other products come directly from the estates or their exclusive distributors. In some cases, rare and hard-to-find bottles have been purchased from private collectors or professionals. Our expertise guarantees the quality and authenticity of the bottles.
These are stored in the cellar, on Fondaudège Street, in their entirety. The most fragile and rare bottles benefit from aging in a Liebherr or La Sommelière wine cellar.
