Château Rieussec
R de Rieussec Sauternes Sémillon-Sauvignon Blanc Blend
Sauternes, Graves, Bordeaux, France
R de Rieussec 2022
A dry white with pedigree from the heart of Sauternes.
A stunning Bordeaux Blanc Sec crafted by the esteemed Château Rieussec, neighbors to Château d’Yquem. This vintage is a blend of 55% Sauvignon Blanc and 45% Sémillon, hand-harvested from select parcels to capture both vibrancy and depth.
On the nose: Fresh, aromatic layers of thyme, lime zest, and combava, underpinned by smoky vanilla and a subtle green vegetal edge. An expressive bouquet with energy and finesse.
On the palate: Lively and mineral-driven with a chalky core. Flavors of grapefruit, lemon peel, and a hint of toasted oak glide toward a saline, slightly bitter finish that adds structure and complexity.
Mouthfeel: Crisp, textured, and finely balanced, this wine shines with a dimensional profile, bright citrus meets subtle richness, showcasing both varietals at their best.
Food pairing: An outstanding companion to shellfish, grilled fish, or goat cheese, elevating each dish with its freshness and elegance.
A wine of clarity, terroir, and charm. Cheers to Bordeaux’s dry white renaissance!
