Château Rieussec is best known for its sweet wines, but with the Blanc Sec R de Rieussec they show that they can also make excellent dry white wines. This wine, from the famous Sauternes region, offers a refreshing change from the sweet classics.
The nose of the R de Rieussec is a feast for the senses. You will find an abundance of aromas of ripe white fruit such as pear and apple, citrus fruits such as grapefruit and lime, and delicate floral notes. The wine also has a beautiful mineral undertone, which provides an extra layer of complexity. The wood aging gives subtle hints of vanilla and toast.
In the mouth, the R de Rieussec is lively and fresh, with a pleasant acidity that nicely balances the fruitiness. The wine has a good structure and a long finish, in which the mineral notes come to the fore again. The combination of ripe fruit, freshness and minerality makes this wine particularly elegant and refined.
Château Rieussec Blanc Sec R de Rieussec is a versatile wine that goes well with various dishes. It is delicious as an aperitif, but also an excellent accompaniment to fish dishes, shellfish, poultry and soft cheeses. The wine can be drunk young or kept for several years.
Owned by the Rothschild family, Château Rieussec is one of the most famous vineyards in the Sauternes appellation, mainly known for its sweet Sauternes wines. The estate covers approximately 93 hectares and has a long history of wine production, with a focus on Sémillon and Sauvignon Blanc. While Château Rieussec focuses on the production of noble sweet wines, such as the famous Château Rieussec Sauternes, the dry white wine “R de Rieussec” is a modern addition to their portfolio and shows another side of this prestigious terroir.
