About Sauternes

Château Rieussec Sauternes is a Premier Cru Classé sweet white from Bordeaux, crafted primarily from botrytised Sémillon with a smaller share of Sauvignon Blanc (and occasionally Muscadelle), grown on gravelly sandy-clay soils bordering Château d’Yquem in Fargues. Typically rich and honeyed yet balanced by fresh acidity, it is known for intense notes of tropical and stone fruits, citrus, and floral nuances, and for its capacity to age gracefully for decades.
