The Other Rieussecs
The 2009 “R” de Rieussec is produced from the estate vineyards and reflects the early harvesting of grape clusters that are not botrytised. It is a blend of Sauvignon Blanc and Sémillon. Twenty percent of the wine is fermented in barrels, with the balance in stainless steel. Crisp, dry and delicious, the wine is a perfect accompaniment to Northwest seafoods. The 2006 Carmes de Rieussec is the second wine of Château Rieussec and it is a blend of over 80% Sémillon with the balance being Sauvignon Blanc and Muscadelle. The name refers to the monks of the Carmes de Langon, the owners of the Rieussec estate in the 18th century. It is an exceptional value for dessert Sauternes. This is a prime opportunity to
get affordable Sauternes for holiday dinner parties.
