Château Rieussec 1. Cru Sauternes 2013

Château Rieussec 1er Cru Classé is one of Sauternes’ most celebrated wines, widely regarded as a benchmark for luxurious sweet Bordeaux. Crafted from Sémillon and Sauvignon Blanc, it is known for its remarkable depth, balance and long, refined finish, with a reputation rooted in the historic classification of the great sweet wines of Bordeaux.

Makuprofiili
In the glass, the 2013 vintage shows a deep, radiant golden colour that hints at its richness. The nose is expressive and layered, offering honey, toasted almonds and ripe pineapple, followed by more nuanced aromas that unfold with air. On the palate, it is opulent yet beautifully controlled, with tropical notes of mango, papaya and fresh mandarin wrapped in a creamy, silk-like texture. The sweetness is precisely balanced by freshness and a lively thread of acidity, giving the wine elegance rather than weight. The finish is long and persistent, with lingering impressions of honeyed, sun-ripened fruit; while already highly enjoyable, it also has the structure to age gracefully for years to come.

Viininvalmistus
The vineyards of Château Rieussec sit in the heart of Sauternes, where the unique microclimate of misty mornings and sunny afternoons encourages noble rot, concentrating flavour and sweetness in the grapes. The harvest is carried out in successive selective picks, allowing only perfectly botrytised berries to be gathered at optimal ripeness. The wine is then vinified with care to preserve aromatic intensity, richness and the fresh acidity that keeps the style so precise.

Ruoka & tarjoilu
Best enjoyed with delicate desserts such as tarte tatin, fruit tarts, crème brûlée or blue cheese, where the wine’s sweetness and acidity can shine. Serve well chilled at around 8–10°C. Decanting is generally not necessary, though opening the bottle a little before serving can help the aromas fully unfold.
