Château Rieussec 2022
Bordeaux - Sauternes - 1er Cru Classé - Sweet wine -Château Rieussec 2022, the 1st Cru Classé to undergo organic conversion, has been given a new look since the 2019 vintage, opening up new drinking horizons.
Château Rieussec, known for its Sauternes, also produces a great dry Bordeaux white wine. Demanding, it has quiet strength and character. Surprising for those who associate Bordeaux with red wine and Sauternes with sweet wine, the R will make its mark.
This unexpected wine is in fact a return to its roots, since Bordeaux has spent two centuries making mainly dry white wine. "For the last two vintages, we've been working on the vineyard destined for R de Rieussec to write the identity of this dry white wine," explains Saskia de Rothschild. "The aim is for the simplicity of the message to serve its purpose, with a wine that has a lively, no-frills style."
“The time had come for Rieussec to reinvent itself, so that the vineyard, wine and bottle all share the same commitment: that of sustainable development which goes from an agriculture in conversion, more respectful of the environment to the preservation of natural resources that our new designs allow. Imagining an original bottle that you want to keep after finishing it is part of this same philosophy. ” Saskia de Rothschild
"It is only in Sauternes that botrytis can develop in order to give Rieussec its unique richness. To create a delicate osmosis between this noble rot and our grapes, we harvest each grain for several months at the ideal time. bottled, our wine for laying down reveals itself and surprises at each stage of its development. Season after season, it marries a thousand flavors from noon to midnight. Kept cool, it remains open for several weeks without deteriorating, and thanks to the cork Bil, it uncorks and recaps at will. Finally, moisten its label, remove it, and its bottle becomes a decanter. "
12bouteilles' Advice : A revolutionary vintage at Rieussec, this will be a must have vintage of the Château and probably one unique bottle in your cellar.
