Ripe citrus, pineapple and white stone fruits glide through Chateau Rieussec Sauternes 2019, wrapped in glossy honeyed richness and lifted by a vivid, saline edge. Layers of marmalade, lemon curd and soft spice broaden on the palate, giving a long, luxurious finish that feels opulent yet refreshing rather than heavy.

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.
