Château Rieussec Sauternes (Premier Grand Cru Classé) 2009 Magnum

Château Rieussec is one of Sauternes’ most celebrated estates, and the 2009 Premier Grand Cru Classé shows exactly why its name carries such weight. Presented here in magnum, it offers an especially elegant expression of the vintage, with the richness, precision, and depth that have made Rieussec a benchmark for fine sweet Bordeaux since its historic classification in 1855.

Makuprofiili
In the glass, this wine shows a deep, luminous golden colour that immediately signals concentration and ripeness. The bouquet is lavish and inviting, with layers of honey, toasted almonds, and ripe pineapple, unfolding into more exotic notes of mango, papaya, and fresh mandarin. On the palate, it is full-bodied and beautifully textured, with a silky, almost creamy mouthfeel balanced by a fresh, lively acidity that keeps the sweetness in perfect check. The finish is long and resonant, marked by honeyed stone fruit and sun-ripened tropical flavours. This is a wine with excellent ageing potential, especially in magnum, where it can develop further complexity over many years.

Viininvalmistus
Château Rieussec lies in the heart of Sauternes, where the cool mist from the Ciron and Garonne rivers encourages noble rot, the natural phenomenon essential to the region’s greatest sweet wines. The estate’s vineyards are planted on gravelly, sandy-clay soils that help bring both richness and finesse to the finished wine. Harvesting is carried out by hand in multiple selective passes, with grapes picked only at optimal botrytis development. Vinification is traditionally carried out parcel by parcel, followed by maturation in oak barrels to build structure, depth, and aromatic complexity.

Ruoka & tarjoilu
Serve Château Rieussec slightly chilled, ideally around 8–10°C, to best highlight its freshness and aromatic lift. It pairs beautifully with delicate fruit-based desserts, tarte Tatin, crème brûlée, blue cheese, or simply enjoyed on its own as a luxurious finish to a meal. Decanting is generally not necessary, though opening the bottle a little in advance can help the wine fully express its bouquet.

Tuottaja
Château Rieussec is one of the historic names of Sauternes and was ranked Premier Grand Cru Classé in the 1855 classification, placing it among the elite sweet wines of Bordeaux. Once owned by the Carmelite monks and later by the Lafite family, the estate has long been associated with finesse, richness, and exceptional ageing capacity. Today it remains a reference point for the region and is widely admired for producing some of the most distinguished dessert wines in France.
